Aleksandr Leshchenok

Aleksandr Leshchenok is a landscape photographer and traveler from Siberia, member of the association of photographers “EURASIA”.

Aleksandr uses photography as a tool for inner dialogue. The forms of nature speak to the author in the language of human emotions. Exploring Siberian corners, the author is forced to understand himself, to be in constant contact with his inner feelings, to reflect on his role and purpose of existence, to realize the emotions that nature gives. Forest, mountains, water — all these are motifs for inspiration and reflection on concrete experience.

The author subtly and sincerely reveals the corners of the Siberian land. His works invite the viewer to enter the landscape, to become part of the scene and to feel at least for a moment the silence, tranquility and connection with the monumentality of nature.

Professionally, he has been working in interior design.
