This is a classic academic material, a favorite of the Academy of Fine Arts. Konstantin Fomin also creates etchings. "The theme of my works is life and myths, people, all together... I depict mostly people - women and men, often naked, in their natural state. I believe that any body is beautiful, has unique features and its own individual aesthetic. I create portraits, immersing myself and studying the personality of the model, I try to express the characteristic external and internal, personal features, to reveal the beauty that I see in each person. In my work I try to convey the eternal beauty of classical and contemporary methods in the graphics. I think about the characters and states emotionally expressed in the body. I find sources of inspiration everywhere! I observe the world, the events, what's going on around me. I read books and identify certain patterns and look for stories that inspire me.
