In Your Eyes

“Seeing myself through your eyes was a small revolution for my heart.” 

In Your Eyes is a collection of portraits - a four-year photographic journey. Contains over 140 photographic works created by Fedya Ili in 2016-2019.

Fedya Ili was born in USSR in 1980. Cosmopolite (lived in Moscow, Paris, Munich, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Thailand, Kyiv, Lisbon, Saint Petersburg). Eighteen years of experience in art-direction of glossy magazines and web, interior, graphic design, brought him in 2012 to the decision — devote himself to figurative art (fine art and photography) that was a? ¿changing point in his life. Exploring people’s emotions in relation, studying and understanding these as part of human nature is the main issue of art. Learning from Leonardo’s human body studies to Caravaggio’s and Rodin’s physical and emotional human state and character, to Mapplethorpe’s sexuality research, he is developing these cases further.
