The series is based on an ancient Greek story about three sisters who have one eye for three. They dutifully and alternately carried the guard, guarding the mystical Gorgons, until Perseus deceived them and deprived them of their only eye, and left them forever in the dark..

In working on this series of paintings, I was first of all fascinated by the idea of demonstrating the terrible images of the sisters, leaving room for the beautiful. It's not their fault that the Greek gods created them like this, but they continued to boldly fulfill their destiny, and even in the terrible there is a place for beauty.

More than million ink dots applied by hand were spent on the creation of the work. I master the art of patience, leaving no room for mistakes in this seemingly small artwork.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Ink

A strongly tinted liquid or paste that is used to mark paper or other printable materials. The design is done manually with a slab, feather, brush, or straightener.

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.

As a professional artist, she often participate in various exhibitions, trying to reveal the beauty of our world to the people.

In the last few years, she has been working in the technique of monochrome pointillism, which is very painstaking and time-consuming, but it helps her to show the uniqueness of natural objects. After all, just as we consist of unrepeatable tiny particles, molecules, so every point in her drawing makes her work exceptional and unique. The themes of her work are the flora and fauna of our world because these forms speak the language of beauty that everyone understands. And they are also a reminder of environmental issues, that this beauty should be protected and appreciated.
