The Discipline of Permanence
Studio Letter — March 2026
I am pleased to welcome you to this month’s studio letter.
In the March edition of my monthly studio letter, I would like to share a little more about what stands behind the standards I insist on in every edition — and why print quality, for me, is never a secondary consideration but an essential part of the work itself.
All works are printed on the Epson SureColor P20000, using professional UltraChrome PRO pigment inks — a system designed for exceptional colour stability and resistance to fading. Independent archival testing indicates a longevity of up to 200 years for colour prints and even longer for black-and-white images under proper display conditions.
I print on Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl 310gsm, a heavyweight pearl-finish photographic paper known for its depth, tonal refinement and elegant surface.
This combination allows me to produce true gallery-grade, museum-quality archival prints — works created not for a season, but for permanence.
For me, the standard of print quality is not about chasing technical excellence for its own sake. It is about achieving the precise visual integrity I see in the work — and ensuring that what you acquire today remains unchanged decades from now.
These prints are conceived as enduring objects — pieces that can hold their value, live within collections, and be passed from one generation to the next.
Printing, in this sense, is not merely production. It is the final act of authorship.
As is my tradition, each month I present a “Gallery of the Month” — a personal selection of works that resonated with me most during this period.
“Gallery of the Month” is my monthly rubric. There are no objectively “best” works here. Instead, I share only the pieces that made the greatest impression on me personally over the past month—the ones that touched me the most as a creator.
The criteria for these selections are always completely different. Sometimes the works are united by a shared emotion or style, sometimes by a visual experiment or a reinterpretation of old ideas. And sometimes, it is simply what I sincerely want to share with you right now, highlighted in a dedicated format.
Gallery of the Month: March 2026 — Echoes of Eras
This 12-piece collection is my visual dialogue with time. I am not inventing something from scratch; my goal is different: to bring the aesthetics of the old masters into the modern world, and conversely, to return the modern gaze to the roots of classical art.
I explore feminine beauty through the prism of great painting traditions: from the deep, dramatic chiaroscuro of Caravaggio and the golden mosaics of Klimt, to the grandeur of the Renaissance and the delicate melancholy of the Pre-Raphaelites.
By blending the structured lines of corsets, heavy velvet, and the cold gleam of armor with pure, vulnerable nudity, I offer a modern interpretation of timeless themes. Each piece in this series is more than just an image—it is a canvas frozen beyond time, where past and present seamlessly intertwine.
