Svetlana Kornilova (born in Ostrig, Ukraine) works with portrait, documentary and street photography. Originally Svetlana comes from Ukraine, where she grew up and studied English philology in Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. After Svetlana moved to the Netherlands she started studying at RSM Erasmus University in Rotterdam, Netherlands and obtained MSc degree in Business Administration, Marketing Management.
Her multicultural background is visible in her photographic works. Searching for my identity between two countries between her own personality, family and social environment. What does she like? What intrigues her? What challenges her? What makes her to discover her identity further?
Her photos are reflection of this search, a short glimpse into herself. Big cities, art, photography, paintings, colors intrigue her but the most important is to be surrounded by love, friends and the dearest people. They are the source of her energy and without them would not have inspiration to create and to live. They are not shown here but they are the most valuable part of her life.
