Alexandra Chertulova, who is also known by an artist’s name Rayda Ealvay, is a 19-year-old self-taught photographer, retoucher and artist from Perm, Russia. She’s constantly surprising her more than 10k followers on Instagram with her dreamlike photo manipulations that she creates using Photoshop.

But what’s even more interesting here is that Rayda uses self-portraits to express her artistic thoughts. In her surreal artworks, she explores the identity, emotions, and dreams.
