2025 World Top 10 / Alexander Sviridov
Specializing in fine art photography, Alexander skillfully merges the aesthetics of classic artworks with surrealist concepts, resulting in one-of-a-kind photographic masterpieces. This image was inspired by the artist Giuseppe Arciboldo. In the “Elephant” artwork female forms gracefully merge to create the majestic white elephant. The models figures, both elegant and haunting, harmonize seamlessly to form the powerful yet delicate shape, bridging the boundary between humanity and nature. This piece blurs the lines between body and beast, reality and fantasy, inviting viewers to witness the profound beauty in unity and transformation.
