Ballerina & Lake, 2020

Majo Jurcik  

Majo Jurcik is a Slovakian Fine Art and Commercial photographer. He got into photography at university, multimedia technologies, University of Žilina. Already in the beginning, he was able to impress publishing houses, magazines, celebrities with many collaborations… 

In 2010, his photo „Thirst for life“ was exhibited at Prague Photo in the Best nude of the year exhibition. And in that occasion, what he was best at was eventually defined. His endless inspiration is woman and in particular the female body, a celebration of female beauty from a male perspective. Actually, he perceives nudity as something extremely normal and free, rather than something forbidden. 

However, he avoids showing it in the foreground, but still he considers his images as a reflection of his inner soul. He also tends to projects about female agility, the flexibility of ballerinas, figure skaters, and yoga models. In his photography there is a combination of pure beauty, sensuality, sophisticated provocation and also a hard-to-capture intersection of perfectionism and naturalness. 

In 2019, he has been discovered by Image in Progress and introduced to the international art market and now hundreds of his works have been collected by people from France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and many other countries.
