Evgeniya Strygina (b. 1989) is a London-based contemporary artist who specialises in landscape and architecture photography and explores themes of people's movement. She captures urban and natural environments to highlight both their relation to and their autonomy from human beings, while reflecting on what shapes a sense of belonging to a place.

Following her early essays in film and digital photography as a teenager, Evgeniya developed a strong interest in image-making while studying journalism and Spanish. After graduating, she completed courses at the Fine Art Photography School and a year-long programme in contemporary art theory and practice at MMOMA, as well as studies at PhMuseum.

​

A perfectionist in her work, Evgeniya works in digital photography, a medium she believes helps her attain the result she is after, as she is prepared to spend hours making dozens of shots to get the few mesmerising images that would satisfy her.

Between 2017 and 2019, Evgeniya took part in at least a dozen group exhibitions, including two shows at the MMOMA, art fairs, biennales and festivals, including the Festival of Visual, Sound and Performing Arts in Brindisi, Italy. After taking a hiatus from art photography, Evgeniya relocated to the UK to resume her artistic career and work on new projects, further exploring her preferred themes such as the nature of space and longing for home.

​

The change in her environment brought new opportunities and recognition for her work. Her

photographs have been exhibited at Photo|Frome Festival, London Lighthouse Gallery, Cicek Gallery, Autograph Gallery, and LoosenArt Gallery, and published in Der Greif, Fisheye Magazine, WE ARE Magazine (The Royal Photographic Society), Truth in Photography, Al-Tiba9 Art Magazine, and Artdoc Photography Magazine. Recognition includes the Top 150 MIRA Mobile Prize, MonoVisions Awards, and Photometria Awards, judged by Martin Parr.

In 2023, Evgeniya held her first solo exhibition following an art residency in the Czech Republic. In 2026, she presented a solo show at Cicek Gallery, London. Her first photobook, Home from Home, was published by Ephemere in Tokyo in 2025. She is currently working with Silvergrass Press (UK) on a second book, Where are you local?
