yellow and white colors here and very few
halftones, so sometimes it looks very
graphically. And I can`t avoid it in my art. As
for the textures, so this is a very important
part of the artwork because it makes the
image look real, gives depth to a space.
Thanx to Photoshop I can achieve any texture
I want. I mean that you not only have plenty
of ready textures on stocks but can easily
combine your own from your own materials
and stuff. Digital elaboration of a hand
drawing picture allows you to create a space
and effects that you could hardly achieve by
hand. In my hand made paintings and
collages I use layers of papers on painted
cardboard, sometimes I add foils or textile
and other small 3D pieces like beads for
example.
Well, of course I need an audience, as most
of artist, I guess. I need a response from a
viewer, not only a positive feedback but a
serious review. It`s very important to me not
only to talk about relevant problems of the
day (because I`m usually not talking about
that) but to make him think about more
abstract problems that however determine
his life – problems of freedom, choice,
responsibility. Ideally I`d like a viewer to
discover in my artworks something new
