About the artwork:

"The work "Sunlight" is a photographic image where the template consists of a collage created by thousands of butterfly wings. I use an analog large-format SINAR camera to obtain the highest possible image quality, which enables me to enlarge the image hundreds of times its original size. The result is an abstract image with painterly qualities. I am completely obsessed with Papilio blumei. When I fold the butterfly tails together, they turn into raindrops in this artwork. One of the most magical butterflies in the world belongs to the Morpho family, where the butterfly wings are fabulously dazzling blue - like the blue sky and the purest possible water in the sea. The yellow butterflies in the artwork produce strong rays of sunlight that penetrate through."

About the artist

"I grew up in the Soviet Union and was educated in classical painting. During art school, I studied all old masters, and when I later had the opportunity to travel, I visited numerous museums around the world. I cannot remember the names of all the artists, but their works are protected in my visual memory.  When I moved to Sweden I abandoned painting and turned my interest to photography. However, I have stuck to the concept of creating the objects in my images with real material, I do not just “find” the motive. All my photographs are meticulously staged, and I frequently use materials from nature, like flowers and insects. But my classical education does not leave me. Instinctively, my works refer back to art history."
