Mariya Pepelanova, Photographer, Paris

Description

This vertical photographic collage by Mariya Pepelanova combines cut paper elements to form an abstract botanical figure against a minimalist white background. The composition places a fragmented human face at the top, resting above a large, textured blue floral motif that fans outwards. Below the floral element, anatomically shaped photographic fragments and dark linework create a stem-like structure terminating in organic leaf-like shapes. The work utilizes a monochromatic and blue palette with subtle textured paper finishes throughout. The overall aesthetic is conceptual and artistic, showcasing precise manual layering and mixed media techniques.
