Graphics in my life-making space has a special place because graphics is my greatest love. With the graphics, it starts: the drawing precedes any design with a pencil.

The graphics are very attractive, you want to look at it, and there’s always something to see: lines, strokes, spots and dots, unspeakable elements - ornament, text.

Mostly I always use a pencil, because it is a very flexible and obedient material, allowing for a variety of work within a small sheet. It also attracts relative simplicity of the technique, mobility of materials, brevity, and precision.

I love the line endlessly as the main expressive means of graphics. It’s what captures the elusive moment of life. Intertwined in many forms, it can be thin, exquisite and lace, prickly and angry, tender and velvety.

Even more, I like the stroke - infinitely different: vertical, horizontal, diagonal, soft cross, careless cross.

In my work in this series, I almost always use a color that plays a supporting role, helping to effectively highlight the main concept.

This series includes images carved into the heart.
