Oleg’s art practice combines photography, video, and mixed-media projects, rooting from his decades-long work as a photojournalist. He investigate the intimacy of gazing through portraits of people and open land as visual landscapes and set up simple photographic conditions that challenge our sensual perceptions and reveal our complex attraction to the photographic image.
Born in 1983, in Leningrad, Russia Oleg graduated form Moscow State Pedagogical University in 2006 with a law degree. Later on he studied press photography at the Faculty of Press Photographers of Saint-Petersburg, Russia (2012). He continued his education at the Fotodepartament Institute of Saint-Petersburg, where most of his current interests were developed (2015). Oleg is currently in his third year of the MFA program at Stanford University. Oleg’s work was exhibited in Russia, Spain, Italy and US and published in magazines, like Amuse, InRussia, The Guardian, F-Stop, Calvert Journal, GEO, and The Village.
