The "Septem" series is based on my study of the topic of the seven deadly sins, a well–known classification of thoughts and actions leading to spiritual death from the point of view of the Christian religion. I created visual interpretations of each of the sins, relying both on the historically established system of images found in Brueghel, Goltzius, Bosch, and bringing modern details.

Alena Kutnikova is a photo-artist from Russia, the main direction of her work is still life. Her works are filled with love for the creations of nature and respect for the Christian religion. A deep knowledge of the symbolism of the works of the old masters allows her to fill her works with hidden meanings, creating a connection between the visual arts of the past and the present.
