Bright Sunny morning. Time is thrown on the windowsill - Happiness takes no account of time. They rush into flight-love gives wings! I tried to Express the emotional flow, the state of happiness and euphoria of flight, which cannot be described in words, by weaving hundreds of thousands of strokes of graphite pencil on paper. Artwork is decorated in a wooden baguette and carefully packed for transportation. After receiving the picture, it is necessary to protect it with glass. To preserve the perception, we recommend using museum anti-reflective glass. When making a design, we recommend creating an air layer between the surface of the drawing and the glass. To do this, you can use the products of FrameTek (econospace) or similar. Proper design will keep the colors clean and bright for hundreds of years.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Graphite

Black and white drawing made with a pencil, an instrument made of a small wooden stick used as a sheath for a graphite mine of the same length.

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.

I mainly draw in the style of hyperrealism which for the most part determined my choice of materials and techniques: my works are made in pencil or with colored pastels. Black and white graphics and soft pastels on velvet paper let me work with details on a very deep level, convey nuance of meanings through tilt of lines and plains, complex play of light and shade on a canvas.

The pencil allows me to achieve photographic, hyperrealistic accuracy in depicting objects. It makes it possible to picture reality beyond itself, articulate feelings there are no words for, go beyond the time and space. This way shifts of dimensions and focuses can be made very subtle, hardly meeting the eye. Notions, feelings, composition are where it the drawing really starts. The plot of the picture is a very complicated puzzle: objects, textures, light sources, states of nature – all this pieces do not readily cooperate with each other. After some time, however, they gradually form into fascinating rhythm for me, into clear structure which existence in reality cannot be doubted. Every work in this technique is thousands strokes made with purpose. As a result, I create black and white drawing resembling large scale photo. Beauty and harmony in it are the starting point where the immersion into deeper emotional level and going beyond the reality looking for new meanings begins.

To balance out the monochrome which takes important place in my art I recourse to rich color of dry pastel on velvet paper. Pastel and velvet are the mediums possessing maximum tactility which allows enhance the realism of depicted objects and textures, makes them tangible. Creating the plots for my works I draw inspiration from Dutch masters. I especially attracted to their compositions, flowers and fabrics. I like to give them modern look. I prefer to work with black velvet using it as a background. Volume of space I construct only with light and shade on the objects. The texture of velvet actively absorbs light and creates additional deepness to the picture and its combination with rich pigments of pastels makes drawing literally glow from the inside.
