Some people think that during Soviet era there was no alternative art in Russia, and only portraits of Lenin were popular with scenes of everyday Soviet life depicted. But Russian artist Francisco Infante-Arana installations (having a Spanish father but raised by a Russian mother in Russia) used no photoshop, mainly because most the images you see are from 1970-1980s. He used only natural objects like mirrors, ropes and cords and examined the effect of light and shadow. He became widely recognized even by Soviet officials and held personal exhibitions, as well as shows in Russian museums like Tretyakovka.
