Valeriya Kutsan
I absolutely love all things monochrome and when I found out about Valeriya Kutsan’s 2012 collection I fell in love with it! Kutsan uses only black and white paint throughout this stunning collection, I love how creative her designs are and how they show that face painting is not always about novelty children’s parties.
These inspiring images are a collaboration between the artist Valeriya Kutsan and photographer Alexander Khokhlov (a Russian photographer), the collection was named “Weird Beauty.” Alexander Khokhlov said, “In these series we decided to deny any colour in our series except black and white to make more accent on forms and volume."
“The experiment should prove that usual simple forms, familiar things or characters can be a main part of wonderful beauty looks. Model faces in this project are not just canvases for the face-arts – they play their own role in each photo with different parts.”
Kutsan started by coating the model’s face with white paint before applying many layers of black paint to create the outstanding monochrome effect. Personally I love the collection of images from this collection and think they are so empowering and inspiring.
“Women think of all colours except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony.”
