The Last Egg, 2023
Nika Belianina’s poetic photographs capture not just the outer appearances of things, but their inner emotional significance.
She loves exploring themes of escapism and longing and wrapping them in mystery of magical realism. Her work represents a timeless and dynamic connection of people (and creatures) with their surroundings, where both become the characters of their stories. Nika is genuinely inspired and often works with nature and uses self-portraiture, movement and various in-camera techniques. Resulting images often have a painterly feel to them. For her, photography is not just a means of self-expression, it is a call to pause, reflect and to let imagination take you on a journey far and beyond.
