The Mask

Concept

Today, we are all so burdened with viruses, politics, restrictions, our own lives and others, trying our best to make those lives at least falsely look perfect. In all this pressure that we often create for ourselves, wanting to achieve some terribly great successes, maybe the real achievement is to know how to stop, to know how to relax and not create, to be completely free from "having to" "it is more correct", than all the imposed influences and opinions. Painting taught me disciplined work, patience, self-discipline, but it was only in digital drawings that I felt complete freedom of creation. I do simple, minimalist drawings where the drawing can be done quickly. I don’t see why art should always be something terribly serious when creation should be a non-burdensome game, fun and at the same time responsible. Once an artist said that it is most difficult to create the simplest sign that everyone will immediately understand, I think it is precisely because the human brain, the mind, is often prone to unnecessary complication.

I create my digital drawings on my mobile phone, with a stylus pen, in an android drawing program that is still in beta. I save the drawings in different stages of creation, because due to their "non-official" nature, the program often shuts down, so I can follow the creation process but also choose the best version. Later I transfer the drawing to the computer in
Photoshop, I adjust the drawing format for print, with minimal colour corrections. Digital art "lives" only on the computer / mobile phone until printing, then it can be printed in an unlimited number of copies, however, since I come from the field of painting where each image is made in one copy, I want to stick to digital art as well. that each paper has so far been printed in only one copy will in the future eventually go up to a maximum of 10.
