Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

An inner child, fragile and defenceless, lives within us for our whole lives, even as we grow old. The older we get, the less we notice it, especially when it comes to creativity, adaptability, openness and curiosity towards new things. However, in some instances we do feel its presence especially strongly, mostly in the face of terror. Just like Alice who’s drunk something without thinking and reduced in size significantly, we regress, degrade even, into terrified children. Reasonable and experienced us are no more, we turn into infants, incapable of standing up for ourselves, taking care of others and making rational decisions. Although we hear about waking up our inner children and creativity quite often in a positive light, we mostly face such outcast, shady side of ours, as babies shaking in terror, during therapy sessions, and, hush-hush, we don’t talk about this inconvenient stuff much. We’d rather pretend it just doesn’t exist, make up valid reasons of our reaction and go out of our way not to call it by its name instead of accepting it and learning to handle it. In this artwork I explore this shady side of our inner children: frightened, fretful and seeing the surrounding world in black-and-white categories only.

The drawing is 42 * 29.7 cm H/W.
The work is full of small details and of excellent quality, high resolution, unframed.
I used markers to create tension caused by lines, angles and contrasts.
The artwork is emotional and contains lots of symbols, it would look perfect in a study room, work room or a living-room.

Marker

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.
