Artwork Gallery – Magazine Issue 3. Color vibe

After graduating in 2019, you actively explored other mediums. Tell us about your
search?
In my search for a personal style, within
digital media, I noticed how much the
digital logic of “quick and efficient” filling
of the white background layer can harm
the artist’s development and generally the
whole art process. It erases the breath of
life of the initial characteristic of the sketch.
An endless struggle between what I have
learned for years (from the traditional) and
“how to make a digital illustration” videos.
The approaches are often contradictory and
I had to find a common solution. I needed
to learn how to draw all over again. On the
other hand, I have always had the same love
for stylized drawing, namely, cartoon styles.
I was torn between experience, interest, the
flow of the future and the audience demand.
Especially with the recent AI development –
when a perfectly good picture can be made
with one click.
All this made me return to traditional painting.
After 4 years of exploring the digital
world, I came back to paint as I would before
on my canvas, the way I was taught. Due
to the whole AI situation, I started filming
the process of creating my works, because
I wanted to protect myself and prove their
origin.
Now, you are actively engaged in digital illustration. What inspired you to create
a vintage series? What theme do you discover?
I have always been enchanted by vintage
aesthetics. To portray sexiness, grandeur,
glamour, and elegance, I often use vintage
themes. Their sexipile is almost like poetry.
I have a sample of that era in the top layer
of the picture, shown through poses, facial
expressions, and fashion aesthetics.
“
Fashion changes over time, but beauty will
never go out of style, because beauty is a
need of the human soul.
In today’s social networks, beauty overshadowing
is more prevalent than ever before.
Apart from the increasingly frequent plastic
aesthetic procedures, there are filters and
excellent make-up artists who completely
change the constitution of the face, so this
often gives girls a plastic and “unattainable”
type of beauty, although, in the background
of all this, we have many problems on a
global level.
Burlesque has moved to everyone’s phone,
and we can see it at any time of the day.
One reel can show footage of an ecological
disaster and how we should be aware of the
way we treat our environment, and the next
reel is a sensual dance of a girl with lots of
skin on display. Guess which reel the majority
will watch till the end?
