“Russian photography artist Max Sauco creates the most compelling photo manipulation of images. His work continues the theme of surrealism in photography. The works of Max Sauko are extremely unusual, although they have something in common with the works of Gil Bruevel. Viewers get indescribable impressions from his images, made in the style of erotic surrealism. Spectators are amazed by non-standard thinking and perception, they especially like the combination of light tones of marble and natural colors of girls' bodies”- this is how critics speak of the works of this extravagant photographer, but are these works really that good? The question, I think, is still controversial …
Max Sauko was born and lives in Irkutsk, he wanted to become a doctor, but at the very last moment he changed his mind and in 1986 he entered the Irkutsk Art School, defended his diploma as an artist-designer. In addition to drawing, Max is fond of sculpture and anatomy, he admits that a huge role in his work was played by his passion for esotericism, meditation and the philosophy of Freud.
Max created a sketch of a picture using a computer for the first time in 1998 and since then he literally fell in love with it. Since then, he has won many awards, including the prestigious FIAP Prize (International Federation of Photographic Art Prize). Now his work can be found in many private collections around the world, for example, in Germany, USA, Japan and many other countries. And the starting price of the artist's works ranges from two to two and a half thousand dollars.
The artist himself says about his work: “All my works are a reflection, as it were, an imprint of what is happening inside me at the moment of creativity. A kind of meditation that allows you to withdraw into yourself, clear your mind and get rid of all that rubbish that prevents a person from being himself and at the same time a particle of the whole world. I love to watch the viewer looking at my paintings: whatever interpretations and judgments you hear, sometimes it takes horror! But many do not understand this “trick”: what they see is Their inner world! And the picture is just a means for extracting it out."
The artist's exhibitions can be seen in many galleries, in particular, one recently took place in the center of contemporary art "Winzavod".
The artist's works can be found on his website, unfortunately, Maxim did not want to leave information about himself, but there is a rather extensive interview with him (by the way, on the first page of the site there is a photo of the artist's son).
