Ekatherina Savtchenko - India 1

Painted Photograph

60 x 90 cm

2008

Ekatherina Savtchenko, who sometimes goes by the name Ekatherina S., was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and currently divides her time between Düsseldorf, Germany, and New York City. Her colorful acrylic paintings and painted-over photographs (of herself, in various theatrical poses, sometimes distorted by the camera) reflect and transform images from mythology and religion or express emotional states.
