Noir Tropical -2 (Cacao tree) Drawing

Hello everyone! I live and work in St. Petersburg. All my life since my early childhood, I`ve been drawing but I never studied professionally. I`m inspiring by David Hockney, Van Gogh and Francis Bacon, as well as the design of English interior brands, because I have worked in interior design for many years. I love to use a decorative elements in my works. Botany, as the main theme of my works, often conveys my mood and contains a nostalgic tinge, because I grew up in a village among beautiful plants and never saw them again. My favorite materials are Chinese ink, pen and gold leaf. Sometimes I use tempera. I rarely use watercolor, gouache and acrylic. I also like to make works from several panels and hang them at a distance from each other.
