This original work «At the photographers» was created by contemporary Russian artist Svetlana Kurmaz and is available for purchase online.

The painting “At the Photographer’s” by artist Svetlana Kurmaz is an immersion into the atmosphere of the past, into an era when photography was not just a process of capturing a moment, but a whole ritual requiring patience, endurance, and a certain degree of formality. The canvas, executed in a muted yet refined color palette, conveys the feeling of time frozen in a portrait.

At the center of the composition are two women whose images seem to have come straight from an old postcard. Their poses, gazes, and clothing all indicate that they are in a photo studio, posing for eternity. The older woman standing behind looks directly at the viewer, her face calm and perhaps slightly condescending. The younger woman sitting in front looks slightly to the side, her gaze more dreamy and contemplative.

The artist uses soft, pastel tones that emphasize the tenderness and sophistication of the era. Beige, gray-blue, and peach shades create the impression of soft diffused light characteristic of old photographs. The color scheme of the background, consisting of geometric planes, hints at the interior of a photo studio but does not distract from the main subjects.

Svetlana Kurmaz’s style is characterized by smooth lines and delicate detail work. The women’s clothing and headwear are all rendered with attention to the era. This is not merely a nod to fashion but rather an attempt to convey the atmosphere of that time, its aesthetics, and customs. The facial features, though not overly realistic, convey a certain mood, creating a sense of presence and anticipation.

«At the Photographer’s» is not just an image of two women; it is a reflection on the nature of memory, on how we strive to capture ourselves for future generations, how we want to preserve our image unchanged. The painting evokes a feeling of nostalgia for the past, for those times when every photograph was an event. It reminds us that even the simplest moments in life can hold deep meaning and aesthetic value.

This canvas is an invitation to slow down, look closely at the details, and feel the atmosphere of a bygone era. Through her art, Svetlana Kurmaz builds bridges between the past and the present, reminding us that every moment in life deserves to be captured and preserved.
