Dmitry Maksimov


Dimitri Maksimov (1987), illustrator and photographer. From the cold lands of Russia, city of Moscow, comes this artist that seems to be higly influenced by Hayao Miyazaki's animations. His pictures are often populated by amorphous sprites, blobby monsters, human-shaped fairies that merge the imaginary with the real, reminding the feeling of most of the work of Master Miyazaki, like Totoro, Mononoke Hime, Sen to Chihiro, or Nausicäa. 





Using effects of scaling or "tilt-shift"as I read before (focusing a reduced area of the picture so that it feels like a miniature), Dmitry photoshops this fantastic world from inside his head to beautiful background pictures (I'm not sure if he takes the pictures), such as a park in the winter, or aerial views of snow-covered fields or the earth seen from space. The result is a beautiful fantasy image the show us how illustrations can be smoothly combined with photography.







Haven't seen anything like that until today. But his universe is so cold that gives me chills!
