Landscape Shortlist

I created this aerial series in the Carpathian Mountains in the Ivano-Frankivsk region of Ukraine. In these parts of Ukraine, the houses are sparsely placed on low mountains, sometimes close to the forest. This allows me to see more minimalist scenes of rural life. The snow-covered mountains resemble a blank sheet of paper, and a combination of elements of rural life and nature creates simple but no less amazing sketches resembling pencil drawings. This is especially noticeable from above, which is why I chose to work with a drone for this project. I spent many days hiking in the winter Carpathian Mountains looking for interesting subjects for this series.

Ukrainian photographer. I remain in Ukraine during the war.

Exhibited across the globe, including 12 exhibitions in famous museums of the world. Inspired by Mother Nature and our Universe. Focusing directly on nature, my work is exploration of the subtle and constant changes in the relationship between man and nature. With my works, I want to show the fragile beauty of our planet and the possibility of dialogue between man and nature.
