Helen Saponova  is a multidisciplinary photographer whose artistic language is shaped by an ongoing exploration ofenergy, identity, and cultural revival.

Her work blends influences from street art, architecture, collage, and sculptural forms, while creative research has become an integralpart of her process. Saponova’s images go beyond mere documentation — her compositions are layered with metaphorical depth,expressive symbolism, and a distinctive visual language that bridges the past and present. Working intuitively, she immerses herself in anassociative, dreamlike reality, capturing the fluid interplay of history and contemporary narratives.

As the author of photo-based projects such as #ArtistFromWithinWorkshop, #FLOWERCLOUD, #UnexpectedMFA, #TheBigStrategy,#aPlaceThatMatters_, and #MyDollMotanka, Saponova collaborates with cultural institutions, artists, and public organizations, includingthe Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

She currently lives and works in Augsburg, Germany.
