Sketches

Although I have Sketches and Paintings divided in my portfolio, when I started painting, the first paintings were “sketches”. It was about 2018 when I started working with Chinese ink and large flat brushes. I was fascinated by Japanese action calligraphy and it is from that the way of my painting is a bit adopted. When I switched to paint, the brush no longer suited me and I replaced it with a spatula. Thanks to that, we don’t find the color as usual, but I spread it, thanks to which completely different structures and lines are created. I started carving various scratches into the squeegees, and I damaged the surface of the squeegee so that lines and paths were created when the paint was drawn. Most strokes are always in a circle or in an oval. The layers are layered on the top of each other, but unlike “paintings” it is always only a maximum of 3–4 layers, so that the first layer is always visible. The sketches are also much less thoughtful and the gesture of the move is much more expressive and free than with “paintings”, where I plan ahead what the result should look like. Most sketches can act as an aesthetically visual element, for example in the living room, this is of course partly possible…

The format is mostly B1 (100 × 70 cm) and I exceptionally paint on a huge size of wrapping paper, about 400 × 160 cm.
