Russian photographer Gregori Maiofis’ photographs transport the viewer to a delightfully surreal world. Populated by ballerinas, bears, lions, elephants, actors, dogs and monkeys, his images evoke scenes from an unfamiliar fairytale. Maiofis studied print making and graphic arts, and it’s perhaps this background that drew him to the more historically based bromoil printing process, which with its complex technique, gives the artist a distinct control over color, tone, and texture, producing images of distinctive depth and beauty.
