Elena Lyakir Diptych, Destiny and Fate Photographs, Land and Sea Series, 2013

About the Item

Contemporary New York artist Elena Lyakir's Diptych, Destiny and Fate, were photographed in 2013 and are part of her Land and Sea Series. This is a meditation on the essence of seeing the world through our respective filter. Each photograph is closely connected to personal sentiments and self-discovery — manifesting inner landscapes. Perceiving the world through one’s lens reveals a ruminative expression of the self, simultaneously appropriating reality. The images in this series are not fragments of what is but rather painterly abstractions, facilitating an altered sense of reality and contemplating our relationship with seeing and a visceral connection to our surroundings. This diptych is archival pigment print face-mounted onto 1/4” heavy matte acrylic. with an aluminum back and French cleat for hanging. Size below is for the diptych hung with one inch in between each photograph. It will ship directly from the artist's printmaking studio with a signed certificate of authenticity to the collector. Artist's Biography: Raised in communist Ukraine and influenced by mysticism and nostalgia of Soviet cinematography and literature, Elena developed a passion for photography as a young child. In 1990 she immigrated to rural U.S. with her family, seeking political asylum, and at 18 she arrived in New York City alone, impressionable, and adrift. Fascinated by the culture, energy, and ingenuity of the city, she first tried to make ends meet by working as a model and assisting photographers. In 1995 Elena found herself swept away by the vibrant avant-garde art scene of the Lower East Side and creating art became her passion and purpose. She started using large format and toy film cameras and eventually studied photography at MSFA but her unorthodox approach to the medium and adverse childhood experiences with oppressive authority in Ukraine impelled Elena to continue pursuing her art through independent studies and experimentation. Elena’s work is included in private and corporate collections. She has exhibited in galleries and art fairs in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, London, Berlin, Paris, Lille, Sydney, and Istanbul and continues to produce commissioned work for collectors and boutique hospitality brands around the globe.
