Photographer
Teri Varhol was born in the Czech Republic
She studied from 2006 to 2012 at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Brno University of Technology (Atelier Intermedia-conceptual art). Since 2012 she has lived and worked in London, UK.
Teri views photography as the ideal medium for representing the concepts of vanitas and memento mori which are amongst the central themes of her work. Other significant subjects include obscurity, shades of black, bleakness, chaos and alien nature. These are dark and claustrophobic worlds which we often dread to glimpse, but they are wrapped in an omnipresent stillness and terrible beauty.
