Prosess: I used watercolor paper Canson, watercolor, black liner Pigma, newspaper, salt. First, I collected a collage, than I draw the details over it using watercolor and ink. Beleive me, it was hard, I am not very "collage"
The idea behind the collage: Beautiful lady in Russian poetry of the 20th century is a symbol of beautiful, spiritual essence of the world. I would like to follow this tradition...
The reasons for creating: Fashion comes and goes, beauty remain, it is eternal... Look around you, find the beauty in every moment of your life
I would like to believe that a beautiful mind sees Art everywhere , in all the many nuances of daily existence
You are more "into" collage making than you said. This is a beautiful piece and the thought behind it is so true.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, a beautiful mind DOES see rt every where, even in the ugly. Your portrait is beautiful and mysterious I love her.
ReplyDeleteVery true! This is a lovely piece.

This is such an individual approach to collage and painting and the result is lovely. It is wonderful how the scrap of text on the page seems to turn into a veil. I certainly see beauty in this. And I agree with everything you say.
