Significant Other Fedya Ili

In 2012 I bought my first Canon and started my way. This book contains three years of my life, my adventures in 180 pages. I have been traveling around the world during this period. The book is about me exploring new places, new ways of doing, new cultures through the numerous men it contains. Some people take selfies in front of the Eiffel Tower and the Great Wall to remember their trips. I myself have Juan, Florian, Roberto, and many others. The most important thing I learned - to let yourself be imperfect. We are not here to have the perfect bodies, the perfect bank accounts, the perfect jobs, and the perfect spouse. We are here to heal our hearts. To love and to accept ourselves for who we are.

Fedya Ili was born in USSR in 1980. Cosmopolite (lived in Moscow, Paris, Munich, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Thailand, Kyiv, Lisbon, Saint Petersburg). Eighteen years of experience in art-direction of glossy magazines and web, interior, graphic design, brought him in 2012 to the decision -- devote himself to figurative art (fine art and photography) that was a changing point in his life. Exploring people's emotions in relation, studying and understanding these as part of human nature is the main issue of art. Learning from Leonardo's human body studies to Caravaggio's and Rodin's physical and emotional human state and character, to Mapplethorpe's sexuality research, he is developing these cases further.
