THE EROTICISM OF YAROSLAV GALYKThe work of
Yaroslav Galyk moves between portraiture and artistic nude photography, with a particular focus on
the beauty, shapes, and plasticity of the human body.
His photographs play with light, poses, and composition to create images where the body becomes the main visual element, always seeking that balance between
elegance, sensuality, and artistic expression.
Rather than simply showing, his work aims to suggest and convey, allowing
the forms, the gazes, and the composition itself to ultimately tell the story behind each photograph.

MY PRIVATE FIGURINE COLLECTIONFor a long time, painting miniatures was mostly associated with soldiers, armies, scale models, and strategy games. Tiny figures made of metal, resin, or plastic that had to be brought to life with a ridiculously small brush, plenty of patience, and a steady hand that didn't look like it belonged to someone who'd just downed four coffees. Over the years, the hobby grew, became more specialized, and blended with other worlds until it reached manga, anime, video games, and pretty much any character someone considered worthy of a spot on a shelf.
Because buying a finished figure is one thing. Creating it yourself is something completely different.
Japanese figure collecting has a long history behind it, especially around garage kits, figures sold unassembled and unpainted so hobbyists could prepare and finish them themselves. In Japan, this culture really began gaining momentum during the 1980s, fueled by conventions, specialty stores, and a community of fans who wanted figures of characters that often didn't even exist as commercial products.
That turned collectors into something more than just buyers. Pieces had to be assembled, imperfections corrected, joints sanded, primer applied, and finally you had to face
that little three-dimensional canvas, completely gray or white, that still barely resembled the character you had in your head.
And that's probably where the most interesting part of the process begins.
