Russian and very talented “photo artist” Oleg Dou is a multi award-winning based in Moscow. Because of his artistic family he faced art ever since he was a little kid. He got inspired by a book with Proto-Renaissance artists. With his photography he’s trying to show people in a not stereotypical way, he’s always been interested in human individuality and self-expression. His work reaches a point between oposities such as alive and dead, attractive and disturbing… It leaves no doubt that his powerful images have been published many times and won several prizes including “The Photographer of the Year Fineart” in 2008. Love the fact that he combines conventional photography with graphic rendering techniques in order to produce matching portraits of an unsettling nature. Super unique!

Hey Joanna,
Thank a lot, we are so happy to have you as a follower!
Love your comments!
Attractive and disturbing indeed. I see what you’re saying with proto-Renaissance art… When I try to think of art from that time I think of a lot of memento mori and art that also shows beauty and death simultaneously… The point I think being to show that beauty fades, etc… He’s doing the same in a completely contemporary context. Very interesting! Great post!

Totally agree! So artistic! Thx for stopping by, Shin!
I am very impressed by this work. It’s unusual yet captivating too.
It is extraordinarily beautiful and completely disturbing at the same time. What does that say about reality and how we live it?
Thx for your comment and hope to see you soon around here!
