TITLE: Connections

The texture of the tree bark, resembling countless interweavings, creates the impression of endless interconnections in life, which consists of numerous links and events that have neither a beginning nor an end.

AUTHOR: Kseniia Chumakova (Serbia)

Born and lived in Russia, Nizhny Novgorod. Art has attracted me since I was a child: I loved to draw and was interested in design. Later, after school, I studied at the Faculty of Philology of Nizhny Novgorod State University, which also helped to immerse myself in art: to learn how works are being created and how meanings are being laid down. There, at the university, I started studying photography.

I moved to Belgrade in 2022 and have been photographing here ever since.

The main characters in my photos are people. We all know that every person is unique, so my aim is not only to take beautiful photos, but also to get to know people through photography, to reveal their exceptional features, to capture their story, to show the uniqueness of the moment. Sincerity and trust are the basis of my work. My photos tell stories about people and their feelings, and therefore they are full of light and tender.
