Lighting design is the art and science of shaping light to enhance the function, mood, and appearance of spaces, objects, and people. It combines technical knowledge of fixtures, control systems, and light behavior with creative principles such as composition, contrast, color, and rhythm.
Good lighting design considers both visual comfort and aesthetic impact: it ensures tasks can be performed safely and efficiently while creating atmosphere and guiding attention. Key aspects include understanding natural and artificial light sources, layering illumination (ambient, task, accent), managing glare and shadows, and choosing appropriate color temperature and intensity.
Sustainable practices — such as energy-efficient fixtures, smart controls, and daylight integration — are increasingly important. Whether in architecture, theatre, retail, or urban environments, thoughtful lighting design transforms spaces, influences perception and emotion, and supports the intended use and identity of a place.

Lighting design shapes how visitors experience an exhibition. Thoughtful lighting highlights exhibits, guides circulation, and creates atmospheres that support curatorial intent. For galleries and museums, light must balance visibility and conservation.

Design solutions and functional zones, calculation of illumination levels in accordance with applicable regulations, and selection of luminaires and distribution of luminous flux to implement the main types of lighting: general (ambient), local (task) and accent (highlighting architectural).

Integration of control systems provides scene settings for lighting, automation based on presence sensors and external light levels, as well as compatibility with "smart home" systems to improve operational convenience and save energy.

For galleries and museums, light must balance visibility and conservation: provide accurate color rendering and sufficient contrast for reading labels and appreciating texture while limiting exposure to harmful UV and excessive heat.

Layered lighting — combining ambient illumination, targeted task lighting for interpretation, and accent lighting to emphasize key works — helps organize space and draw attention without overwhelming the objects. Color temperature and light quality play a critical role in setting mood.

Sergei Eisenstein. The Infinite Man
Successful exhibition lighting supports storytelling: it clarifies form and color, creates rhythm and focal points, and enhances emotional and intellectual engagement, allowing each object to communicate its significance within the collection and the larger narrative of the show.

Warm light can create intimacy and historical warmth for heritage pieces, while cooler tones can feel contemporary and clinical for modern installations. Adjustable fixtures and dimming controls let curators adapt scenes for different events, media, or visitor flows.

SERVICES
The first consultation with a lighting designer is desirable at the initial stage of an interior design / architectural concept. This will help to determine the light image of the space, take into account design features, correctly plan the budget for lighting equipment and lighting control.
I work with all manufacturers available in the design region. For each project, I choose the best solution based on the project budget, lighting tasks and architectural features of the space.
With the advent of the LED era, the choice of luminaires is no longer limited to the design and power of the fixtures. LEDs impose both their own limitations and offer many advantages over traditional lamps. Unlike traditional lamps, the quality and beauty of the light beam depends on the quality of the LED chip and on the optics of the lighting fixtures itself. In my projects, I choose only proven luminaires with the best beam characteristics, color rendering and performance.
