For centuries, the naked female body has inspired artists to create their greatest works, because there is nothing more beautiful in the world than it. A Greek photographer agrees with this view of art. Anastasia Mastrakouli, which created a series of photographs as evidence Naked silhouette alphabet.

A bad artist is the one who did not come up with his own version of the alphabet! Many authors around the world in their work sooner or later come to try their luck in this field, making, for example, the alphabet from leaves, books or fashionable things. And the Greek photographer Anastasia Mastrakuli used silhouettes of naked female bodies for this.

Mastraculi understands that it is not the naked female body itself that excites much more, but only a hint of it, leaving room for fantasy. This understanding is imbued with her series of works Naked Silhouette Alphabet, in which naked ladies pose for the camera as letters of the English alphabet.

At the same time, they are shown directly, and through the fogged glass, and the viewer can only see their silhouettes with individual details of the anatomy of Anastasia Mastrakuli's models.

However, even through the glass you can see that these pictures are very frank, at times, on the verge of decency. But at the same time, they are incredibly beautiful and unusual.

Of course, not every letter is easy to identify in a woman's silhouette. Sometimes they are encrypted at the deepest visual level possible. But after all, Anastasia Mastrakuli herself says that she creates only abstract prints of these letters, their images in human guise, in which she explores the connection between human anatomy, fine art and the Word as such.
