Untitled, 2012, Lina Scheynius
Lina Scheynius produces stunning shots of nudes, still lifes and intimate self-portraits. Raw sexuality and naked bodies punctuate her work, often depicting her close friends, lovers, and herself. Her photography captures quiet moments of intimacy and hidden beauty that ordinarily remain unseen by the outside world, as if ripped from the pages of her diary. At times luminous, then hazy—always intense and thought provoking—her work reads like poetry, inviting the audience to discover and be captivated by her motifs. Her aesthetics convey undeniable truth, never shying away from vulnerability, revealing delicacy that deserves to be seen.
