"Ukrainian photographer Yevhen Samuchenko, a native of Odessa, has received global accolades for his compelling travel photography and artistic aerial shots, as he captures the fragile beauty of our planet in poetic images. This includes his homeland, which has abruptly become the focus of international attention, and now seems more fragile than ever. The Beauty of Ukraine is both a love letter to the landscapes of Ukraine and an aesthetic treasure. Yevhen Samuchenko shows us Lake Lemuria from the air, with its unusual pink color making it almost reminiscent of a piece from the land art movement. He photographs a canyon near Kherson in such a way that it evokes a line graph within the lush green landscape. Fields of poppies and lavender mesmerize with their uncompromising richness of color, as do wintry landscapes with their monumental stillness and simplicity"--Publisher's description
