Artist Statement:
It's the everyday splendor of
the world we live in that
inspires me to draw my horses,
landscapes, and flowers using
nothing more than colored
pencil and eraser.
I love colored pencil for the
wonderful control over shape
and color it provides. It
allows me to dive into the
finest details or imply only
few of them, but in any case
the finished work always looks
realistic. Although creating
photorealistic art works is
not my priority, I aim to
capture my subject in its real
beauty.
Often I don't go very far into
details, but instead work with
many layers of color all over
the paper, adding new strokes
everywhere I feel it is
necessary until the drawing
starts to look more like a
painting. I add details later,
when the whole art work is
almost done. Photos and
sketches serve me as a
reference, and sometimes I use
plenty of them for a single
piece.
Usually I develop my drawings
from light to dark, starting
with light under-painting
colors that later peek through
darker colors and give my art
works vibrancy and life.
When colors of big areas in
both background and foreground
are well defined, ...
