About Artist

Paul Lukin

Paul Lukin (b. 1980) is an award-winning photographer, best known for his black & white atmospheric and introspective photographs, as well as his mastery of light and shadow. Born in the coastal city of Split, Croatia, in 1980, Lukin started photographing in 2004 and has been obsessed with the medium ever since, creating photographs that are both beautiful and thought-provoking. His images are grainy, dark, and mysterious; his work has often been described as an outward expression of an inner self. Lukin captures candid, fleeting, dreamlike moments in the streets of Bangkok. His open-ended narratives of solitary figures offer a glimpse into a world that depicts a sense of loneliness and isolation. Lukin is a finalist of the Sony World Photography Awards 2018, a finalist of the Siena International Photo Awards 2019, and was shortlisted for the World Press Photo 2019. He was also an invited artist by the European Cultural Center for the Venice Art Biennale in 2019 and 2021. Paul Lukin’s prints are part of several permanent public and private collections. His work has been exhibited in galleries internationally, and his photographs have appeared in major publications and media outlets worldwide. Lukin lives and works in Bangkok, Thailand.
