About The Artwork
9th Grand Prix of Endurance in Le Mans. Many details are hidden all over the drawing. My artworks are not copies of old photographs. Work on one picture usually takes up to 2 months. Many hours of research and reference material to make sure I rebuild the car and environment exactly the way it was in that race. In addition, all fonts, logos and advertisements were used in those years. The 1931 24 Hours of Le Mans (9th Grand Prix of Endurance) took place at the Circuit de la Sarthe on 13 and 14 June 1931. The Alfa Romeo 8C-2300 LM of three British privateers Francis Curzon, Earl Howe and Henry Birkin won the race. It was the first win at Le Mans for an Alfa Romeo. Boris Ivanowskiy spent most of his races driving Alfa Romeo cars, but for the 1931 Le Mans race, he purchased Mercedes-Benz SSK racing car from the legendary German racer Rudolf Caracciola. Along with his co-driver, Le Mans veteran Henri Stoffel they started as part of a private team of Vladimir Tatarinov (Valériani-Vladimir Tatarinoff) and became the second, winning at the same time in his class (over 5 liters). At the same time, Ivanowskiy set the best lap time of 7 minutes 03 seconds (average speed 139.23 km). Architecture & Landscape: At 2.30am, a violent lightning flash and thunderclap heralded a short intense squall that flooded the track for an hour. Mercedes-Benz SSK (Super Sports Kurz) with a big 7.1-litre engine at Mulsanne Straight. Organisation & Advertising: - Englebrt tires Belgian advertisement in 1931 and Dunlop tires English advertisement in 1931. Tire troubles had cost the Mercedes team eight laps. Ivanowskiy was able to get hold of some Dunlop tires to replace his problematic Engleberts. - Mercedes-Benz German advertisement after the race - The Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) logo in 1931

Israel
I live and work in Beer Sheva, Israel. I am a self-taught artist, without professional art education. I started drawing cars when I was 2 years old, my mother carefully keeps my childhood drawings. And now, 40 years later, I'm still doing what I love. My graphic artworks are made in the technique of ink graphics with elements of watercolor, in the style of old engravings and old advertising brochures. My style is based on detailed drawing and historical accuracy. The artworks are mainly devoted to the history of world motoring, the first auto-sports competitions (since the 1900s), old architecture and Formula 1 racing. My artworks are not copies of old photographs. The first motor racing events took place over 100 years ago and there is very little information about it. Work on one picture usually takes up to 2 months. Many hours of research and reference material to make sure I rebuild the car and environment exactly the way it was in that race. I always strive to depict historically accurately all the things and details of the event. I research archival documents, old photographs, publications and articles in newspapers of those years, and much more, to be sure that all elements of the picture correspond to the historical period: architecture, landscape, weather, specification and color of cars, clothes of drivers, mechanics and spectators, advertising, and so on. In addition, all fonts, logos and advertisements that were used in those years. Only after careful preparation, I start drawing. It takes a lot of patience, diligence and passion to paint such detailed artwork. Drawing such small details requires high precision and concentration.
