The colours of nature are unusual and varied and make very amazing combinations. I work in my recognizable author's paper technique, selecting and summarizing stunning natural colors and illustrating the beauty of the world, highlighting the main and important details by using transitional shades and, based on these colour nuances, I’m creating really natural-abstract paintings, as if they are growing from the surface of the canvas.

It's been a while since I made graphics on canvas. I haven’t worked in this technique the last few years, although I really like it! This is a miniature on canvas 25 x 25 cm, made with very hard pencils 4H and 5H. If we look back in 2015-2016, a part of my diploma work was drawn on canvas, and part was made as a paper object. I have had a flash back and decided to make a new graphic artwork in miniature. In this video - some stages of creation.

HOW IT WAS MADE

acrylics, paper, glue, canvas

100 x 100 cm

Creating such an artwork is a huge amount of time and meticulous work. Thousands of handmade villi, twisted, glued, painted, and then all this needs to be assembled and fixed well... The whole process took 3 weeks of everyday full time work. I was afraid it that I would never come to the end. There were several stages: twisting the paper villi, gluing and painting them, cutting it to the required length and gluing it according to the sketched composition. It took a lot of paper, glue, acrylics of different shades of blue. At one moment I ran out of all the materials and had to buy more. I was also afraid that the canvas would be very heavy, because it will be sent to the Art  Fair in Luxembourg. However, everything turned out in the best possible way. The artwork was made completely with Daler Rowney acrylic paints.

The «Septem Virtutes» (The Seven Virtues) series is now available for purchase.

The «Septem Virtutes» (The Seven Virtues) series The Seven Virtues is a very important theme in art, with a serious tradition. The history of art tells more about seven deadly sins, but I decided that now is the time to remind about the virtues. Each virtue is associated with a specific colour, which is used to paint. When I paint, I think about this virtue and say it out loud. The artworks are made on large sheets of premium torchon extra rough paper.

I started this series from the idea of simplicity and duality: monochrome, black & white. But suddenly got a diversity of shadows of gray, as the result of interference of pure colours.

The last stage of the work is a composition of small peaks that take the artwork out of two-dimensional space into a 3D object. By the way, the villi are very durable, but at the same time elastic. Feel free to touch them if you want.
