Сфинкс.Sfinx. (2012) Photography by Van O

Van O (Ivan Isaev) has been working as an art photographer since 1999. His surrealistic photographs are full of fantasy and surprise with their depth and subtlety.

His work, which focuses on the themes of objects inspired by the aesthetics of destruction and construction, is distinguished by subjective and visionary lighting.

Van O (Ivan Isaev) was born in 1975 in Moscow, Russia, and graduated from the biological faculty of Moscow State University as well as the An. Vasiliev School of Dramatic Art. He worked as an actor in the theaters "Dance-model" and "Mystery of Costume," and as a club designer–creating avant-garde fashion collections such as "200 volt ago or Some aspects of individual luminosity...", "The Circus," and "Viniloplastika."
