Eugenia Maximova is a multiple award winning photographer, photojournalist and visual artist, based in Vienna. She holds a master's degree in journalism- and communication studies from The University of Vienna. Her artistic practice is informed by a critical reflection on and an engagement with socio-political contexts. Inspired by her childhood in Bulgaria, she explores issues of identity and the everyday life in post-communist cultures, but also of consumption and transience. Eugenia uses an analogue medium-format camera and kindles a passion for colours and clear image compositions while making sure to celebrate life.
