Handmade Abstract Unique Monotype Artwork

- My art is a dynamic dance of experimentation, where abstraction meets deep conceptual thought. I boldly play with form, texture, and color, creating unique works that embody not only emotions but also ideas. My work reflects a respect for cultural heritage, which I skillfully weave into contemporary methods, infusing my creations with energy and vibrancy. This is art where every stroke and every shade tells a story, leaving room for reflection and a sense of connection to something greater. Yann Panaiotov, Greek artist, was born in 1972 in Sukhumi, Abkhazia, permanently resides in Athens, Greece. Studied in a private art studio. Currently lives and works in Athens and Moscow. Since childhood, he was fond of drawing, but playing football during his school years and later his professional career as an orthodontist took over, and drawing faded into the background. While studying at the medical institute, in some subjects, such as: anatomy, biology, histology, in addition to notebooks with lectures, we drew a lot and kept albums with drawings on the topics of the classes. By the way, my album on biology was left at the department and placed under glass on the stand. And only in adulthood, the opportunity and time again appeared, the desire was always there, to take up this craft that was interesting to me. It all started with sketches in a workbook with notes to distract and relax, in between writing scientific articles on medicine. The profession of an orthodontist primarily requires a creative approach, knowledge of anatomy, biology, physiology, biomechanics, precision, attention to detail and patience, which harmoniously echoes my approach to drawing. Drawing is for me not only a way of self-expression, but also a method of emotional and psychological relief, growth and movement, while maintaining Balance. Basic training in painting and graphics, took place in a private art studio in Moscow. I attend master classes, take online training, which help me develop and improve my skills. These meetings enrich me both creatively and professionally. I prefer to work in various techniques and materials: watercolor, graphics, monotype, charcoal and graphite, digital drawing. Each of these techniques allows me to reveal my skills, abilities, ideas and impressions in a new way, conveying them on paper and canvas..
