History

Enigma

Original painting on canvas, see more photos at Etsy

Here’s my my newest artwork “Enigma”. The making of it started with the thoughts about the atmosphere in old, high public buildings. Like old libraries and churches. The decorated ceilings and the feel of space create almost spiritual experience. It is a mystery how the beauty can uplift the mind so powerfully.

I used acrylic paints here and added the details with pens and markers.

Wild Doodling Inspired by Art Nouveau

Sometimes it’s just not possible to stay controlled. I was thinking about art nouveau and Alphonse Mucha‘s work, but instead of trying to focus on beautiful shapes and accurate lines, I wanted to give my pens a relaxed speed.

Here are some close-up details. The line is wild and fast.

The watercolor background is as arbitrary as the illustration.

The most difficult thing in illustrating is to get relaxed lines. That’s why it’s important to get wild once in a while!
