About the Artist

Evgeniya Strygina

"As a photographer interested in urban and natural landscapes, I keep my images uninhabited as I consider people a part of the world as opposed to being its centre. Even in my pictures of architecture, I am fascinated by the space and its details rather than its occupants. Juxtapositions, interactions and contradictions, rhythms and rhymes are what I look for in nature and cities. I offer a different perspective on things and strip down my style. Minimalistic and geometric, my pictures are both an experiment in deconstructing reality and a quest for quiet harmony in our noisy existence."
