“Speak to me, sequoia” was the name of a newspaper article I read when I was a young and impressionable child. It was about a woman who lived on a sequoia. She had her food lifted up and literally slept up in the tree. The article was short and contained a small low-quality image that was easily damaged as the paper quality was also low. I don’t remember the details (like, if the woman was a scientist, or an enthusiast, or a fanatic, or how the tree looked like), but I remember the impression clearly even today. I didn’t have an access to the Internet, and I was no fan of botanic literature, so I imagined sequoias almost as grandiose as “The Avatar” trees (although “The Avatar” wasn’t probably even planned at that time). When I finally saw the real sequoias, I was a bit disappointed as they basically looked like giant pine-trees, but at the same time I was impressed in a different way. The story about that woman looked even more surreal now that I knew how the real trees looked like. And I started thinking to myself “Speak to me, sequoia.”

The drawing is 42 * 29.7 cm H/W.
The work is very detailed and of gallery premium quality, high resolution, unframed.
I used markers to create the airiness of the tree flowers and the texture of wrinkled mushrooms.
The artwork is mysterious and mesmerising, it would look perfect in a study room or a living-room.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Marker

Drawing made using a large felt with its own ink source. The ink may or may not be indelible.

Surrealism

Founded in 1923 by the writer André Breton, it will unite many artists like Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Max Ernst, René Magritte (1898-1967), Victor Brauner (1903-1966). Influenced by psychoanalysis, they see psychic life as a new field for renewing the arts. They will develop new ways to create and use new materials.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.

An aspiring artist from the heart of Siberia doomed to warm up all my joints every 40-60 minutes due to a genetic condition. A socially awkward extroverted introvert, sexually attracted to music.

I've been drawing and painting for as long as I remember. Mainly horses, dinosaurs and other fantastic beats I imagined. I enjoyed coming up with a backstory for every creature I created: like, where it lived, or how it behaved, what happened to it, or if it had any friends or family. Oftentimes, I wrote those stories by hand on the back of the drawings.

In my teens, when I finally had an Internet access, I came across a manga & anime forum where contemporary artists tried this art style for the first time. I got mesmerised and spent hours looking at their artworks, they looked so fresh, nothing like I've seen before. Then I got into watching anime. At that time, it wasn't as popular and there were no online streaming services, so I had to put some effort to find a series to watch. Surprisingly enough, I didn't want to copy this style, I just liked certain elements to it and the sense freedom of expression. Its creativity blew my mind and influenced me a lot. It was then and there that I met my first artistic love -- a contemporary artist by the pen-name Nonhuman. And it struck me for the first time: you don't have to be dead and part of history to be an artist. I realised I could very well become an artist myself.

Although a self-taught artist, I enjoy attending courses, workshops and lessons here and there and will continue doing so to ensure further quality growth. I am open to experimenting, collaborations and willing to try different styles.
