Mask of the 20th century

It’s not by fluke or by accident that this photoset is dedicated to the 20th century! I consider this period to be the brightest and the most unusual one in the history of art.
New extraordinary trends with their amazing visions and special picture making techniques appeared in abstract art.
First of all, I wish I could cover all the artists of this period. But my aim was to create a calendar, that`s why I decided to choose only 12 outstanding artists and their 12 stories. The calendar is like a fine art book, so both the art amateurs and those who know few about art can find the calendar really interesting and inspiring.

I hope, while watching my photos people will get to know the world`s greatest artists. And someone can look at famous art pieces in a new way. The second aim of calendar was to combine photography and painting. I am very keen on the art of photography. Thus, in my works I try to emphasize artistry, versatility and endless creativity. Photography becomes art for those who feel themselves as being a painter by spirit. So, this is my first quote. Why precisely are masks?!

There is a person behind every picture. In my photos the face of each artist is as a symbol of his personality and its unique masterpiece. I chose the exact model for every special photo. I want them to be really unique and fascinating. I tried to do my best finding different faces and different facial features.
