Vladimir Clavijo-Telepnev is one of the most renowned modern photographers. His work is characterized by an astounding mastery of the craft and seeming lucidity of stylistic vision, that make his an unmistakable artistic signature. Every single texture of his arcane aesthetic speaks the language of things yet unsaid and bound to the mystery.
Vladimir Clavijo-Telepnev was born in 1962 in Moscow, in the family of creative people. His father, Pedro Clavijo, was a Columbian journalist and a radio reporter. His grandfather by his father's side, Edmundo Clavijo Cubilios, was a famous Columbia's photograph and artist. His grandfather and grandmother by his mother's side, Vladimir and Margarita Telepnevs, were painters.
In 1986, Vladimir graduated from the Moscow Polygraphic Academy, faculty of graphic art, specializing in painting, graphics, and polygraphic design.
His art is a denial of commonness and understanding that only the artistic flair and style allow transforming a single moment of real-life into a piece of art. One can confidently say that Vladimir Clavijo is the patriarch of Russian advertising photography. Professional skills of the transformation of a negative image into a positive one probably are subconsciously present in the philosophy of the artist's creativity. Everything he chooses as a photo-target of his creative vision becomes elegant, stylish, even pretentious, but always beautiful and as a result - positive.
Aesthetical neo-romanticism of photoartist Vladimir Clavijo-Telepnev leaves the spectator with the romantic impression of complicity with aesthetics of the Silver Age.
