Zen Realism. Based on a true story. Digital photo collage made of my own imagery. All objects shot separately, masked, reassembled and manipulated in Adobe Photoshop.

Biography: I was born in 1984 in Kherson, Ukraine. I turned to photography in 2009 and learned everything by myself - studied composition, shooting techniques & best practices. I developed my own methods and approaches and in 2011 produced my first decent photo collages. Negation of a conventional reality and meditation enabled me to unite seemingly opposite concepts and ideas in my creative space. So, my photographic experience embodies a synthesis of mind and aesthetics, a fusion of surrealism and Zen Buddhism, logic and sensitivity, European rationality and a cosmic element of the East.
