"Ancient World"
The real origin of art is associated with the appearance of a person with his experience. I was looking for inspiration in ancient art, in human heritage. I used an abstract approach to painting - brightly colored, simplified forms, to convey the complexity of human life and the power of the energies ruling in the world.
In my project "Ancient World" the protagonist of the image becomes not a separate image, but a composition of images in action. The proportions of animals and human figures woven by smooth lines are exaggerated. These lines resemble either plants or the continuation of stylized animals and humans. Contour and silhouette drawings, clear images without layers. A large number of male and female images. Woven image of animals, sometimes the main one in the plot of the picture. Huge beasts, breathing confident strength, sometimes seem ready to go into the fury of the movement.
This project is characterized by silhouette images, intentional distortion, exaggeration of proportions. Detailed study and decorative solution. The task is not in the plausible, accurate representation of individual figures, but in the transfer of action, movement and energy.
We used local colors - red and black, all colors of ocher and others, adding modern colors and shades - the colors of the sea and sky, desert and greenery. Harmonious combination of shapes and tones, the beauty of people and animals, the impetuosity of gestures and movements to express energy .. The desire for harmonious generalization, stylization and, most importantly, for the transfer of movement, for dynamism.
Here - liveliness, free imagination. The goal was art.
