DASHA ART - Photographer and Artist
DASHA started taking photographs in her 3rd year at the university.
She actually immediately decided on the genre of photography, sifting out boring directions for her like: wedding, street, family photography. DASHA immediately created her own unique, recognizable handwriting, which combines painting on the human body and photography. Purposefully and in-depth works in the genre of artistic art photography, creates accessories, and thinks through conceptual images, focusing on the uniqueness of ideas.
Since 2015, she has been participating in international photography competitions, immediately winning prizes. Then she created her first cover for a glossy magazine, today there are more than 20 of them around the world.
The beginning of a career as a photographer
Features of creativity
A feature of DASHA's creative look is the creation of a real image of the model - real makeup from the best makeup artists, real costumes are made by the best fashion designers. And only after that photographs are taken. DASHA also professionally retouches photos: “I myself edit and bring my photos to the ideal. Since I came to everything in photography by trial and error, I set for myself only the best world names as an example. And now I am very critical of everything that I create.
Currently, during the pandemic, when it is impossible planned foreign exhibitions, DASHA works in three areas: oil paintings, photos, graphics. But they do not contradict each other, but complement: “I started painting with oils. In February 2020, in the garage of my house, I created my first exhibition of paintings. Painting brings me a lot of pleasure and does not let me get bored. I prefer cubism geometry and suprematism. I still have big plans in the field of photography - these are not only photo shoots and art objects, but, perhaps, my own school of photography. I continue to create photos for collectors and build their value with very limited editions of my prints. I also think about the release of a limited book-album - for 10 years many interesting photographs have accumulated that can inspire people. And Graphics is what has been with me since childhood. I even sign my graphic works with a different signature that I came up with as a child, keeping the concept and technique. This is part of me."
DASHA and World Expo Dubai 2020
“Connecting minds, creating the future” is the slogan of Expo 2020 Dubai, which started on October 1 and will run until the end of March 2022. At Expo 2020 Dubai, DASHA presented 13 photographs. Each reflects the cultural heritage of Belarus, the current stage of its development.
National symbols are presented - Euphrosyne of Polotsk, the letter “Ў”, cornflowers, Belarusian ornament, Kalyady, IT technologies, etc.: “Today I consider my participation at the World Expo 2020 a great achievement. With great difficulty and without connections, I was able to defend my ideas, and I am the only selected artist from Belarus who represents the art zone at the world exhibition. I prepared and created my collection for 2 years, this is a colossal work and a colossal achievement for me.”
