sentimental journey

 HELLO!


From time to time I like to cut intriguing words and sentences from old newspapers. The same goes for interesting pictures. There's lot of potential in them. For example you can create a collage.

And today I'm coming to you with a collage with a travelling theme.

monochrome nude

 HELLO!


Recently I made a monochromatic nude of an imaginary female character.


monochrome nude, pencil and black crayon on paper, 14,8 x 21 cm.


I drew a young lady with the only accessory which is a shawl with a floral pattern.

I put a paper on a box with an interesting, circular pattern. Then I started rubbing the paper with a black crayon. That's how the background was made.


That's all.

What is your opinion about monochrome nude?

Tell me in comments below.


Have a Nice Day!

mesmerising forest

 HELLO!


From time to time I'd like to snap pictures of the nature. Trees happen to be impressive models.

Photos of trees sometimes inspire me to create crazy, and surreal graphics.

That's the reason why I wrote this post - I've made another surreal graphic. 


I took this photo on April this year in the nearby forest.

violent storm is coming

 HELLO!


Today I would like to show a new work which is a part of series Wild Fantasy. In the previous years I made pieces like Green dress, fantasia amalfitana and there is a fire in my heart. They are the black-and-white pictures with a colourful accent, made with pens, showing ladies in coloured clothing with animals as companions. 

The main inspiration for each of those works was a doodle.


This kind of design was giving me no peace. I felt strong urge to draw a lady clothed in a stripped dress with horizontal strips. I've envisioned this dress in violet and black colours.

unreal impression

 HELLO!


From time to time I spend time on creating surreal graphics which are based on photographies of trees.

Trees are inspiring. Trees can save you during the hot day in the city.

Anyway you see another surreal graphic today.

Here you see trees from nearby forest. I took this photo this year on February.
That day weather was really lovely.


I cropped out a part of this photo and experimented with it.

A backup for me was a photography found on Shutterstock.

holding the light

HELLO!


Recently I felt a desire to create something on the spur of the moment.

So I sketched a naked woman who's holding the light in her hands. 

I haven't got any specific idea concerning a portrayed lady.


holding the light, pencil and white & black crayons on a brown paper,
11,5 x 17,2 cm.




One may wonder what is the light in her hands.
It could be deeply hidden treasure or power which is about to awaken.
It could be anything. 

That's all.
How do You perceive holding the light?
Let me know in the comments.


Have a Nice Day!

Summary 2022

 HELLO!


Previous summaries appeared at the beginning of January. This time I took a rest from blogging and decided to show summary of 2022 in my a-r-tistic blog in the February. 

So, let's start!


  • In 2022 I published 23 posts. This year I made lots of graphics and pastels. Collages made an appearance, too.
  • I was able to accomplish 2 aims - a Dragon and Pandora. Now there are new aims - a picture of a horse, and also a Cityscape. Regarding to an illustration to Shostakovich's Waltz no. 2 I decided to change this aim because somewhere along the line I lost desire to make this. I'm sorry. I came to conclusion that it still be an illustration to piece of music - and I would choose one of Joe Hisaishi's compositions.
