Each photograph in the "Under the Black Sun" series features a demon that I brought to life using body painting techniques, transforming my models into otherworldly creatures. Photographs were captured using Fujifilm and Hasselblad medium format cameras in my personal studio, and have been widely acclaimed with numerous international awards.

Everyone lives with their own demons. People are afraid of them, avoid them... But I want to show their dark beauty. I want to show that we shouldn't be afraid of our inner demons, we can learn to live with them and harness their power to create.

It's about the darkness inside, about loneliness in the void, about being a ghost... And about the fact that even such things can be beautiful in their own way.

Under the Black Sun is where demons live. It's a dark beauty aesthetic that I want to convey to other people. I create my Dark Queens with paint, brushes, shadows and a camera in my studio.

Everyone lives with their demons. People are afraid to meet them, avoid them… But I want to show their dark beauty. I personify my demons and bring them into the physical world through photography. I paint the skin of models and turn them into creatures from the world where the sun is black and only gives life to shadows. I show their perfect body lines, their inhuman gracefulness… And the black void behind their eyes.
