Sergei Sarakhanov

Online exhibition of selected photographs curated by our gallery in 2024-2025.
Sergei Sarakhanov's photographic oeuvre is a profound exploration of human character, capturing the essence of his subjects through meticulous attention to color and form. His portraits often exude a painterly quality, reminiscent of classical art, achieved through the use of subdued, earthy tones and soft lighting that imbue his images with a timeless aura.
Sarakhanov's compositions are characterized by their simplicity and elegance, focusing intently on the subject without the distraction of elaborate backgrounds or props. This minimalist approach allows the viewer to engage deeply with the emotions and stories etched into the faces of his subjects. He often gravitates towards individuals with rich life experiences, capturing the depth and resilience reflected in their features.

By eschewing overt references to contemporary settings, Sarakhanov creates portraits that transcend specific eras, inviting viewers to connect with the universal aspects of the human condition. His work is a testament to the enduring power of portraiture to reveal the profound narratives inherent in every individual.
