Dream 24
What are you going to see when you dream? When you fall asleep, how do you know you’re going to wake up. A part of the Dreams series.
Face №7: Word of Mouth
One could think of communication as of a living matter or as a being. Ideas live until we discuss them. World communication web seems to be independent being living on its own will. But the thing is we are the only ones who feed it with our thoughts and ideas we share. The one could decide whether it become a monster ruining lives and peace or a library full of beautiful ideas shared all over the world. There’s how you using a word.
Turbulence
The artwork depicts the feelings of modern turbulent world. Old classical ideas and concepts which seemed to be eternal crushed in couple of months and now humanity have to follow their instincts to find the way to survive.
Face №2: An Artist
A portrait of thoughts inside one artists mind. An attempt to shape and depict complicated mind racing process each artist has inside. Right color picking as well as finished artworks don’t make one an artist as well as absence of these signs. What about your own perception?
Face №6: a War
A war is everywhere. It’s how countries develop their politic, it’s how citizens trying to survive during assaults, it’s how one fights for he’s rights. There’re people who’s business is war. There’re people who’s whole life is a war.
Face №5: Flesh
Death is a great inspiration as the strongest archetype. This artwork is an attempt to depict the similarity of human behind their difference. It’s not about shapes & figure but strokes and color palette.
Face №4: Madonna
Traditional symbols can not reflect todays reality anymore. The same is for traditional Madonna symbol. We’ve got all these modern conveniences but if we’ve got more happiness? If we could get rid of suffering?
Face №3: a Virus
The third work in the «Faces of Death» collection. Journey to the dark side of life experience. Inspired by the current world situation.
Face №1: a Mask
Artwork depicts sort of a mask. Emotion stays behind the scene being tricky to identify. The one could see a face, but also a mask.
Spirit
This work is a combination of two elements: a human and his inner self. Colorful geometric figures covers dark and miserable unknown. Colored pencils underline primitive nature of the spirit.
Until it Sleeps
Every human being has a ‘light’ and a ‘dark’ side to them. Often during the most difficult times in life one of these sides takes over. The demons that are usually kept on a leash break loose, embodying doubts and fears, consuming the clarity of thought. In this painting I wanted to depict the ancient primal evil, that sleeps inside a person. But make no mistake, it is asleep now, but it can be easily awaken.
Dilemma
In this painting I was striving to illustrate the burden of a difficult choice. This profound tension you feel when find yourself at an impasse brought on by the necessity to make a decision. There is no right or wrong. No matter what path you take, it ultimately leads to the hardships you were not prepared for. It symbolises the state between anvil and hammer, where the choice must be made, but seems impossible; the state in between the decisions which you would never choose to make, but you have to.
The flesh of the humanoid figure is decayed. It is exhausted and drained. And it seems like its surroundings is leaking into it, forcing it to make this hard choice.
