Meet Finnish activist Rika Nyari, who became famous online thanks to a series of black-and-white photographs depicting naked tattooed girls demonstrating their sexuality.
In her works, Rika explores and subverts traditional ideas about beauty and gender, as well as reconstructs the aesthetics of the sexual through the female gaze.
Each picture of her Inked Stories series is truly fascinating and remains in the mind for a long time, because Rika captured the perfect combination of a naked female body and body art.
In addition to photographs, Rika creates complex installations and performances, which also cause considerable resonance and attract public attention.
According to the girl, she formed her creative preferences, inspired by the films of Roman Polanski, David Lynch, as well as the pictures of Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdain, Miles Aldridge and Cindy Sherman.
During her career, Rika has also worked with many major brands and well-known magazines.
At the moment, she actively continues to engage in art and take part in large-scale creative projects.
