metamorphosis

My intention was not to portray the dried flower as memento mori, but instead to highlight its fading beauty and portray its transition to another life, in a process of metamorphic rebirth. All photos were captured as portraits, with natural light on a black backdrop.

About Artist

Eva Berler

I am based in Athens, Greece. I have been involved in creative art photography since 2019. My main focus is on nature, urban, macro, abstract and fine art photography. My engagement with photography has revived my connection with nature and my inner self. I seek the beauty, magic and poetry in the ordinary, creating what I call "my little mundane world". I published my first photobook “little miracles” in 2022 (iFocus editions). I held two solo exhibitions (2023, 2024). My series "Suspended Worlds" won the 1st prize in the Professional Competition at the 2024 Sony World Photography Awards in the Wildlife and Nature category. I was longlisted for the 2025 Aesthetica Art Prize and my work has been awarded in many other international competitions (refocus awards, Gabriela Iturbide MA-g awards, Julia Margaret Cameron award, Van Gogh Trubute award, FotoNostrum Choice awards, Foto Slovo awards, International Imaging Competition, Exposure one including previous 1839 awards). I have participated in many group exhibitions (in Athens, London, Milan, Berlin, Barcelona, Venice, Tokyo, Hanoi-Vietnam, Busan-Korea), and my work was featured in collective photobooks and online press, in Greece and abroad. A selection of images from her series “Suspended worlds” are included in the Museum of Avant-garde's permanent contemporary collection, in Switzerland.
