YANA SLUTSKAYA

In my collection of self-portraits, I delve into the intricate notion of personal transformation and metamorphosis. Each portrait serves as a narrative exploration of a significant historical period.

I aim to embody a feminine persona, drawing inspiration from renowned historical figures like Marie Antoinette, Queen Elizabeth, Emily Dickinson, and other fictional characters, each representing a unique era with grace and poise.

​

I meticulously design costumes for each of my characters, focusing on intricate details. I employ dramatic lighting in my photographs to add depth and sophistication to the scene. My goal is to create my images in a painterly style, blending contemporary photography techniques with classic painting traditions.

​

I hope my artwork brings you joy and inspiration!
