I mainly draw in the style of hyperrealism which for the most part determined my choice of materials and techniques: my works are made in pencil or with colored pastels. Black and white graphics and soft pastels on velvet paper let me work with details on a very deep level. The pencil allows me to achieve photographic, hyperrealistic accuracy in depicting objects. It makes it possible to picture reality beyond itself and articulate feelings there are no words for. To balance out the monochrome which takes important place in my art I recourse to rich color of dry pastel on velvet paper. Pastel and velvet are the mediums possessing maximum tactility which allows me to enhance the realism of depicted objects and textures, makes them tangible.
