Inspired by dancers

This series was inspired by a collection of photographs found in a theatre magazine. The photographs were beautiful and artistic, capturing the people in them.

I began this project with the intention of achieving abstraction while keeping the source material recognizable.

It started with simplified drawings.

The next step was to try something with color, but I produced only one, it looks great, but it is not abstract enough..

I created a series of dynamic sketches, resembling graceful dances on paper. Not bad I would say..

The following series of graphics emerges as my best work on this topic. They exude an aura of creepiness and danger, possessing a will and expression all their own. Surrounding them are clouds of letters, akin to weaponry, showcasing their inherent danger. The static, lady-like figure, while slightly peculiar, is undoubtedly only gentle and friendly. Welcome to their realm.

f you have been following my blog for a longer time, you would know that I cannot resist collaging whatever comes into my hands. The same happened with this group of dancers. Maybe you’ll prefer this variation over the previous one; it’s much friendlier and more playful

And one more variation of the theme, to conclude, larger than the others (A2). Here, I succeed once again in placing composition ahead of form; despite the abundance of dark colors, it exudes positivity, dynamism, and decorativeness.
