Artwork description:

ARTWORK CONCEPT:
"Through the mandatory tunnel of troubles we go, we find life", I was told... And it's marvelous.

TECHNIQUE:
The work was drawn on a 300 year old Bavarian lithographic stone using a lithographic pencil and ink. After that, the stone was put into the acid, and the prints were printed on an old KRAUS press. A limited edition of 13 prints, each hand-printed and original, was released in 2021. The original drawing on the stone was subsequently demolished . The printing technology has been time-tested, so you don't have to worry about the safety of the picture. Artists such as Toulouse Lautrec, Ramon Casas and Salvador Dali worked in this unique technique and their prints have survived until present days.

AUTHORS CONCEPT:
All my artworks are based on real events and deeply personal experiences, which I express through metaphorical appeals, surrealistic forms and variety of signs. All buildings, objects, people at pictures are real and based on my memories, photos and real life models.
