inner life

 HELLO!

A few years ago I made a doodle of lady with windblown hair. 

It inspired me to create a work.

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.

Pandora

 HELLO!

From time to time I find films concerning mythology pretty interesting (especially greek and japanese ones). One of them got my attention to Pandora and her mysterious box. So I started thinking about her, and I was wondering how would I portray Pandora?

So, that's how Pandora became my aim.

Here is the 1st draft.

I wanted to capture a curiosity not only on her face but also in her movements. She swings forward the box and reaches to it with her right arm.

Below there's a final drawing made by a brown crayon on a paper.

4 in 4: Wrzos

 HELLO!

Today I would like to show the 13th comic strip from series "the Four Seasons in Four Frames". Here the main protagonist of the story is Autumn.

PLOT:

A few years ago Autumn was enjoying her walk when suddenly she heard a meowing.

Below Wrzos you will find a translation of the bubbles.

ENJOY!

FIRST FRAME:

STRIP: A few years ago...

SECOND FRAME:

AUTUMN: What are you doing here? Did you get lost?

Temptation

 HELLO!

Some time ago I found an old schoolbook. There I found a reproduction of Alphonse Mucha's work called: 'the Moon' (1902).

In 1902 Mucha worked on the series of decorative panels called the Moon and the Stars. 
The illustration you see here, shows a study for the Moon (technique: ink & watercolour on paper).

When I was looking at the picture of the Mysterious Moon Lady, a thought of creating a collage came to my mind.
