Portraits
Years 2011-2012
Paper, gouache
43x61, 40x60
I like cubism
mainly because it is less complicated than analytical painting but the result
is often more dramatic. In life drawing I always see “hidden colors” and I
cannot stand using them. As a result, my work often seems unnatural. But in
cubism and fauvism I am free to use all tones I desire.
This is the
inspiration for a self-portrait in a ruddy sweater (left on the
bottom). The task was to mirror a style of a particular artist or period. This
work of Petrov-Vodkin was offered to me by my teacher and I decided : «Why not
to try?» It was an unusual manner for me and I wondered how I would cope with
it.
