Half Finnish, half Hungarian, Reka Nyari was born in Helsinki and lived in Budapest for a few years before moving permanently to New York in 1997.
She won first prize at the Miami Photo Center Vision Excellence Awards in 2018 and the International Photography Awards (IPA) in 2010, Beauty Pro category.
Her 225-page monograph entitled Femme Fatale: Female Erotic Photography
is published in 6 languages and is sold out worldwide.
In recent years he has been working on a series called ‘Ink Stories’, which depicts fully tattooed women from all over the world telling life stories drawn on their skin.
I have always loved making portraits and have become interested in the art of tattooing.
Tattoos are such a beautiful, definitive, artistic and rebellious way of reclaiming one’s body, often functioning as therapy to transform a person’s life and appearance.
They can be emblems of strength, reminders of courage and guides to a better path in life.
Reka Nyari
All the tattoos are real and each work tells the intimate and real stories of the women portrayed.
Each one is the heroine of a story of self-emancipation, reconciliation with their traumas, a story told on their skin.
From this perspective, tattoos become symbols of vigour and triumph, symbols of how they transformed their minds by transforming their skin.
