Lucy Besson. Multidisciplinary Artist | Photographer.
Born in 1959 in Novokuznetsk / Russia. Graduated at the Stroganoff Academy for Art & Designe in Moscow in 1987. In 1990 moved to The Netherlands.
I work on various projects with different themes such as: Chasing the sun-rays, Timescapes, Being Feminine, Insomnia, Meaningful Illusion, Hands, Looking through the Keyhole. These projects are usually resulting in photo books and exhibitions. I get my inspiration from everyday life, classical painting, world literature and cinematography, but also from the nature and my personal life. Some of my photographic work can be regarded as visual poetry, as a visual reconstruction of the subconscious. I create a different reality, my own drama in which man is presented as a mystery, sometimes almost anonymously, eyes closed in his or her own reality, veiled behind the haze.
In 2018 my photo prints got the second prize in the nomination Experimental Graphics during III Internationale Triennial Graphic in Novosibirsk/Russia
My INSOMNIA photos are featured in the ‘New Dutch Photography Talent’ 2016 edition by GUP Magazine/Amsterdam.
In 2015 I was nominated by the Second place in the competition The Portrait King Willem Alexander (Municipality Veenendaal/NL)
