On the last day of the exhibition "Salvador Dali and the Divine Comedy" in the Kyiv National Museum, I was struck by the appearance of a museum worker. Her dress visually matched the theme of the exhibition in an incredible way. I offered to photograph her. At first she refused, but then she approached me and said that she had never been photographed by museum visitors. That's how this photo appeared.

Biography

I am a fine art photographer working with still life and floral imagery. My work explores flowers as metaphors for emotion, time, and transformation, with a strong emphasis on composition and visual clarity. I develop cohesive photographic series intended for exhibition.
