Colored pencil is my favorite tool. Allows me to create live-like drawings. I've always been drawn to realistic fine art the most. Draw what you see the best you can. What I discovered about myself is that everything I do has romantic element, moment, object, expression, something that makes my art work more alive than it would be without it. The drawing with the snake is a perfect example. Had it not been for the mask, snake itself would only create a night snapshot of a cold blooded reptile, yet the mask creates a mystically romantic atmosphere as if the snake is guarding the mask. I decided to add the mask not knowing why. Today I understand it's just the way I feel the drawings. The mask gives the snake a purpose and a romantic story to the whole set.
My overall goal is not only to make my drawings as real as possible, but also to give them life, emotion or purpose. I was never much fan of still life, because still life to me was always only about technique, choice of colors and tools. I need to feel my work through an expression of a face, atmosphere of the composition or purpose of the subject.
Currently I'm trying to build a portfolio, irresistible to any gallery. Until then I'm open to any exposure I can get.
