Vladimir Clavijo-Telepnev Figurative Photography

Russian, b. 1962

Contrary to the typical perspective of portrait photography, Vladimir Clavijo-Telepnev poses his nude subjects facing away from the viewer, creating a visual dissonance. In monochromatic images, the Russian photographer examines themes of fear, lust and uncertainty.

Clavijo-Telepnev’s grandfather, Edmundo Clavijo Cubilios, was a well-known Colombian photographer and artist. Clavijo-Telepnev pursued his studies in painting, graphics and polygraphic design at the Moscow Polygraphic Academy, now the Moscow Polytechnic University, graduating in 1986. 

Clavijo-Telepnev gained experience through working as a press photographer, as a fashion and advertising photographer and as a lecturer at various institutions including Moscow State University and the Design Academy. Over his career, Clavijo-Telepnev has held memberships in the International Association of Graphic Artists and the Russian Union of Photo Artists. His honors include the Best Cover for Youth Magazines award and Best Photo Project main award for the Benedetta Barzini Portrait.

Romantic, and tinged with melancholy, his work features iconography reminiscent of storybook tales. In 2001, Clavijo-Telepnev launched his own photo art school and published Imperfecto and Impressions. In 2005, he published Cherry Orchard. For a 2012 group show at the Story Museum in Oxford, England, he exhibited photographs with an enticing, yet frightening, quality inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. 

His work has been exhibited widely in Moscow, including at the Lumiere Gallery, Cervantes Institute and the Russian Modern History State Central Museum. Internationally, his photography was in the 2003 “Remembrance: Russian Post-Modern Nostalgia” at the Yeshiva University Museum in New York, and in exhibitions at Hay Hill gallery in London and the gallery at Grand Hyatt Dubai. English musician Elton John and Welsh film director Peter Greenaway are among the collectors of Clavijo-Telepnev’s artwork.
