Abstract Underwater Art Photography

Through long exposures, motion and light, Ukrainian-German artist Alexej Sachov transforms underwater reality into abstract fine-art images that reflect how life begins, evolves and survives.

Each abstract series grows out of direct underwater experience, using the sea as a space where form, movement and light condense into visual stories of living systems.
