Colourful abstraction with powerful dynamics. An unbalanced composition creates tension and unfoldment feeling

№9, 2025

Pretty innovative in relation to my other works

Although I personally believe that this painting rather imitates some styles, an experienced eye will be able to discern a synthesis of the recognized visuals and my interpretation. So despite my own self-questioning about authenticity this work has quite a right to exist. However, maybe I'm just already soured...

Extremely irritating abstraction painted in mixed technique

Oozing, 2025

Extremely evil and greedy work. It's not about what it really is. It's just that such exuding inevitably causes projection in the negating traits. Well, down the line, it's energy, and there's plenty of it here

Abstraction looking like stage sets for theatre or opera

Fiesta, 2024

Of my rare works in which the composition is organized in a disordered way, especially emphasizing texture and color shimmers.

Despite the celebratory colors you can feel a certain coldness that is familiar to anyone who has been to the art performances.

Giant whirling abyss in flame and smoke colour palette. The composition reminds some kind of testament occurance.

Garganta, 2024

I didn’t disappear, although I quite distant lately.

I'm exploring crayon techniques, pastels and wax both, so have been spending less time on digital. I think the results will be seen later.

More and more often I am puzzled by the problem of colour reproduction on different screens. Probably not the newest feeling here, however, as I think I have managed to reach some kind of consensus with the work intact.

Colourful abstraction with chaotic and soft-chalky feeling at the same time

Shuffle, 2024

A little bit naive, since I’m still getting used to pastels. It’s amazing to see that saturation and intensity remain almost the same as in my digital artworks. Glad to open this season!

tile-like flower pattern

Flowery pattern, 2023

I’m in pretty confused mood today

Organize myself through expression, no biggie

colourful abstraction with flying whirlwinds of red bark

Intermediate, 2023

In order to find out the age of tree, you have to cut it and count its rings

To know the age of a man you have to wound him and taste his blood

Pain From Feelings, 2022

Pain from feelings, 2022

I don’t get I don’t get I don’t get I don’t get it

Why things are happening this way, it’s so unbearable

Colourful and primal abstraction with kind of monastery feeling

Untitled, Pastel

23.4" x 16.5" (A2)

Primer layer is actually gouache (and acrylic)

There are far to many routes to find figures in this work, but in fact it was kinda conceived for this purpose. Perhaps first thing one sees is landscape with hills and rivers or monolith in the fields. Then comes a creature that resembles an old testament angel. Of course, there are dancing silhouettes in beautiful dresses, and faces with frightening grimaces. If you dig deeper, you may see the interactions between unknown beasts and fishes or observe wondrous plants. Or maybe you'll find something of your own at all.

There is no right interpretation here, all these are just keys that allow you to begin to perceive what is behind this painting. All the images are in our minds, and the meaning is transcendental ._.

colourful abstraction with a lot of small details resembling bones

BONES, 2022

In fact I really don’t know what is that

I finished paintings with a similar feeling, but this one is overflowing with an incredible ability to be capable, which is inherent in any person

some halfface of a demon or smth like that

AAA?, 2019/2021

Started in 2019, finished only today

Sometimes completion of an art has more to do with acceptance it being completed🤔

I can already see four different essences here

Hello your drawings are stunning can u plzz tell me that what r ur intrests in art ? Mine are coloring and do u do gestures before the drawing?

Hello, sorry for kept you waiting, I was busy recovering from my art month. Thank you for the questions and nice words! My main interest in art is to create something special, outstanding that can tear apart the pattern, at least mine. Also I am very sensitive to the colours selection and do spend really a lot of time polishing the right balance. I’ve never done any kind of gestures (I’m not even sure I know what are those xD).

‼️For all‼️

Thanks for being with me this month, your attention and support helped me a lot. During this time I understood a lot of things about drawing (and about myself too), grown as an artist and have changed a lot in general. Bunch of ideas popped in my head and I can’t wait. So I rate this experience as extremely positive. I am always glad for your reactions and comments, so keep going!😊

📌Also I have a question for everyone! I find it very satisfying to draw and share art everyday, but the works seem to be less accurate and powerful. So do you want it rarely but precisely or evenly?

seaweed like abstraction

Day 31, This October

I tried to do something special and reflective of my path this October. It turned out to be an overwhelming and completely incompatible with the challenge itself task. As a result I got this prettiest offshoot and total exhaustion. So I will summarise tomorrow

rough and very warm abstraction with heart-like spiraled objects

Day 30, free abstraction (post-given name - Hearts)

I am very warm about this work and do really really love it

Probably because lack of theme allowed me to remember my old approaches and renew my feelings~~

landscape images or fragments in rough colours

Day 29, wholeness

It’s been a while since I did that-like artwork

I mixed the original sketch with what I ended with, and I liked it

something like butterfly contour in very bright colours

Day 27, faith

It got out of control. I had no choice but to accept.

This artwork is strainy for sure

some victorian lacquer colours forming a woman silhouette

Day 26, flaw

Composition is little unbalanced but the colours and shapes speak for everyone

Ain’t she look like a queen of hearts?

very colourful accurate abstraction with no explicit forms

Day 25, vision

The things we see are definitely from the universe spawned in our minds

Also I think vision is somehow connected with the tool

Plus bonus one to enhance the effect

The purple, smoke and radiance emphasize my vision

gathering of people shown above the belt, probably in water

Day 20, bound

I feel like I’m loosing my sense of colours, for now I’m not even sure if they’re correct

Maybe I should break the challenge, I’m not sure :(
