Artist Statement

"I have always been interested in a non-volatile relative landscapes — whether it is natural landscape or architectural, or even interior of a house, post office, building of a bank, restaurant, museum, theater — and passing them through the historical events, people’s lives. I ask my heroes — athletes, circus performers, ballet dancers, my own friends, laborers or «fathers and sons», if it’s a family portrait, – to stop. They stop in front of the camera as if in front of the infinity of time and space, revealing in them grandeur, beauty and fragility. These I want them to remember and talk about them such, and therefore photograph, believing that art photography will store their elusive images that touched me, or at least do everything I can to store them. Thus, I also seek the interconnection between all times and spaces, through what pleases our eyes and our imagination." Valery Katsuba
