‘INSIDE' is a series of surrealistic self-portraits. No post-production tips and tricks were used here – I work only with light and the body. A woman's body is supposed to be beautiful. Nudes have always been a pretty and attractive thing. For this series, I use my own body as a clay. I don’t aim to depict my physical appearance but I express the inner side of myself in a graphic manner. It’s a story about fighting fears, finding one’s identity and dancing with light.

Maria Pleshkova (b. 1986) is a multidisciplinary artist working in photography, digital collage and video.
Her life and art are inseparably connected. In her work, Pleshkova explores the Microcosm, the human universe, and certain moments of the highest intensity of life. Her recent projects are mostly autobiographical, but the autobiography is just an excuse to talk about things which are universal and common to all humankind.
Pleshkova's works have been shown in Russia, France, Spain, Italy and Georgia.
