Anna Voitenko
Born in 1979, lives and works in Kyiv.
Studied in the National House of Artists art school.
Graduated from the National Technical University of Ukraine "Kyiv Polytechnic Institute" (Faculty of Electric Power Engineering and Automation) in 2003.
In 2010, she won the Grand Prix "Photographer of the Year 2009" at the first national open photography award "The Best Photographer" in Russia.
"Anna shoots in a harsh, ascetic manner. Psychology of her photographs is anticipation of the Apocalypse, an insight into a phenomenon, an event or a specific subject - a person, an object, a landscape... Like a mystical gourmet surgeon, Anna carves the most delicious pieces from the boring routine and feeds them to the astonished people."
