ELENA SAHNOVA

Blue dream




I understand art as a means of expression, nothing more and nothing less. I look in the art to people who express themselves as proof of its existence, consciously or unconsciously. To me an artist is a manifestation of life through his art and from which I get a different view to mine. Elena Sahnova is part of the Theater Chamber Voroznech direction but above all she has a look that brings us back a life full of nuances. The light through Elena Sahnova becomes richer thanks to her experiences and feelings turning any object into a feast for our minds. Her photography is a real empire of the senses.

Rapid eye movement curiously gives me great peace, despite the speed of its title referred to the phase of sleep where our mental activity is richer. Her photographs are certainly dreamlike and make smallest and real domestic objects becoming surreal consciousness places. The colour blue dominates this world born in the dreams to make us dream beyond them.

If the eyes move quickly in the REM phase, the series presented by Elena makes our eyes relax and get carried away. The blue chromatic range dances between blacks and whites as if it were a real blue X-rays. She seems to capture the soul of in appearance inanimate objects and completely invisible in our everyday life beyond their usefulness. Elena is amazingly able to see that the universe is also contained in the smallest object and that the realities are different and not only that one showed us by our senses. If you do not see the blue on an object is just because it is contained in it and not returned to us. We see what is not but Elena creates new worlds presenting everything with new colours.

When someone wakes up during REM does it alertness and sexually aroused. If you look to a photo of Elena Sahnova you feel in harmony with the world around you being aware that it is much more pluralistic than it’s perceived because imagination is also real and all the blues she brings makes us want to get lost in and live it again.
