ARTWORK CONCEPT:
By the luck of the coincidence and circumstances (as my whole life is) I’m living near by Sagrada Familia. Especially this masterpiece impresses me in nighttime. But rarely tourists know that Sagrada Familia was built by the projects of two different genius architectors: Gaudi ( ofc) aand Subirachs. Curious thing is that they had completely different styles and after the death of Gaudi Subirachs was chosen the one to continue project. They tell that whole concept of Sagrada Familia is about life and death (and many more but that’s another story) . The front part is made by Gaudi. It was inspired by blossoms of nature and symbols life. As the hard shaped triangular back part of the building made by Subirachs so it symbols death.
Any life ends up in one point: death. So death in a way is something that we are born with. But also it gives evaluation of life. This concept of ending makes us think about what we really want to do in this long-short time pass. What the life is for each and any of us. What our values are.
ARTWORK CONCEPT:
Images of passing childhood, an immense starry sky, a child's face dissolving into the mystery of being. Ancient huge dinosaurs that fit in the hand. Shadows of thoughts, imagination and dreams are combined into a picture of the world. Pictures of childhood..
TECHNIQUE:
The artwork is done in the author's mixed media on paper. I used several different materials and looked for the perfect combination as I worked on the painting. The graphic work is made with ink, alcohol, pen, tempera, charcoal. My technique is a kind of creative, emotional experiment on paper which allows me the maximum of freedom and flexibility.
AUTHORS CONCEPT:
All my artworks are based on real events and deeply personal experiences, which I express through metaphorical appeals, surrealistic forms and variety of signs. All buildings, objects, people at pictures are real and based on my memories, photos and real life models.
