There are so many talented people in the world whose names are on everyone's lips, but there are also those about whom practically nothing is known, as in the case of the Iranian photographer (Hadi Malijani), who creates stunning black and white images in the style of photo-surrealism.
Today, the style of minimalism is becoming one of the most popular trends in art from interior design to painting and, of course, in photography, where, above all, the openness of ideas is appreciated, embracing freedom of interpretation without reference to the topic as in other genres. This approach to creativity helps to focus either on the subject or on the plot, without distracting the viewer from the contemplation of beauty with unnecessary details. And a smooth transition from black to white, as if flowing from one to another, emphasizes the unobtrusiveness of each picture, giving it a special atmosphere of inaccessibility and a certain coldness.
Adhering to the basic rules of this genre, despite the lack of color, Hadi created a colorful series of surreal photographs with intriguing, but at the same time, understandable plots. In his works, he focuses not only on lines that create geometric illusions, but also on lonely trees and figures of people busy with their own affairs. Thanks to this, mesmerizing shots on the verge of fiction and reality are obtained, exciting imagination and fantasy.
Alexander Khokhlov and Veronika Ershova are masters of illusions who, to embody their ideas, creating minimalist body art.
