This series is based on the Ethnic series drawings which were created during the lockdown 2020.
I decided to make a big project which would include the cultural patterns and images of the people of the world. There lots of fairy tales, myths, folklore art, symbols and ornaments in every country. It is interesting for me to explore more, to make notes and find the differences or parallels. I love travelling and visiting new places. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to go just where you want. But you can travel around the world without leaving your home. Of course, it’s not the same. But books and your imagination can make magic!

Sometimes I love to work on impulse, just following the rhythm of music. I use different compositions from melodious classics to hard rock to make my art more expressive and contrastive.

This year I decided to start the Inktober marathon with my personal collage diary in an abstract minimalism style. A new day - a new collage with some elements of text (my notes of the day), ink lines and spots, white tracing paper, black paper from Jo Malone))) and local colour.

Human ages.
Ten abstract compositions dedicated to periods of human life over 100 years. Each decade is like a new life segment, a new period with its own characteristics, preferences, hobbies and attitudes.
Before starting the project, I interviewed people of different ages. It was interesting to find out what completely different men and women, old people and children love, what attracts them at this age. Having selected the most interesting answers, I left only a hint of figurativeness, but still some objects can be guessed. Many people like to search literary images in non-objective compositions, and this is exactly when this can be done.

The most difficult thing in creating a minimalistic art is to control yourself in order to avoid unnecessary details and keep focused on the compositions without any emotion. Such unpredictable and fluid material like ink makes it even more challenging. Therefore for the Inktober 2021 project, I chose the name Self control (inspired by Laura Branigan song).

As a linguist and avid reader, I have always been interested in idioms and wordplay. I love to look for coincidences and differences in established expressions, for example, in Russian and English. Being an artist, I am interested in colors, hues, shapes and their combinations. My experimental project is to find English idioms related to color and transfer them to the canvas. Not all idioms have functional equivalents in other languages, but that's what attracts me. The composition in this case is complicated by additional semantic associations when translated into another language.
The project consists of a series of paintings (one series of 3-4 paintings is dedicated to one color). In each series, there is one color that dominates, but not in its pure form. One series assumes a uniform style, but within the project it can range from minimalism to expressionism.

As I am a big fan of myths and legends of the world, I love ethnic ornaments and often use them in my art. I love travelling and visiting new places. My grandpa did too. And there are a lot of various souvenirs, figurines, books and postcards in my family’s country house that really inspire me. It is pleasant to peruse all of them, to remember my grandpa’s exciting stories and to dream of my own.

Биография
BIO
Artist Alexandra Kraeva lives and works in Moscow, Russia. She is a full-time artist and works with graphics, acrylic and oil painting, collages, using mixed media. She creates mostly contemporary abstract and expressive art.
After graduating from Moscow State Stroganov Academy of Industrial and Applied Arts Alexandra has had contradictory experience in searching her personal style and using a wide range of techniques and media in her exploration of artistic expression.
In many ways, Alexandra’s views and preferences in style were influenced by the meeting and studies with Natalya Karpinskaya, an abstract artist, art historian and teacher of modern art and painting from New York.
Alexandra has been a regular participant at regional and international exhibitions (a 1st prize winner of the Tretyakov Gallery on-line still-life competition, January 2013) and contests. Her artworks are in private collections of Russia, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and China.
