One of the artist's characteristics is that he perceives nature of photo art as space for dialogue between author and life and trusts black-and-white imagery completely.
Boris Mikhalevkin possesses a unique gift of being able to see and express harmony of a "moment of life", every day routine. His works are marked by ingenuousness of feelings combined with complex and refined composition. Photographs by Mikhalevkin are, according to the widely known definition, "moments of the life stream" seen and captured by a big master with an intent, enraptured, but at the same time ironic eye.

 

In 2010 Rosphoto will present in their exhibition halls anniversary exhibition by Boris Mikhalevkin.
