Personal manifesto_pt.2

Hello, dear part of me.
Am coming back to you again as am having a spike of pain inside. You are more powerful, you are more strong, being yourself helps me to grow up and look at the things from the other side.
One more year passed and I can say now: nothing really changed. I could do much more for myself, but I gave my time and power to others. Now it's time to turn on the egoism.
My feelings became more intensive. Whatever I feel, I've no doubt it has its meaning. I make no mistakes in choosing people.
I must make an edgy leap now, standing on one's head. It's not the time for being disappointed.
Loving the World is the only feeling I can't control.

Final celebration of bad hallucination

It's always importaint to control the feeling of integrality.

Who wants little monsters to attack?

My God tells me right decisions. 

Day 204.Or 203. Don't know. 

Goodbye, demon.

Personal manifesto?

Hello, my empty sketchbook!

Finally want to share something. The spring comes and I'm full of energy and ideas. I love my life again, I want to catch every moment and be ready for new things coming! 

Realized that the best thing I can do is listening to my intuition which tells me the right decisions all the time. 

I need to work harder to understand if the dress of architecture suits me or not.

I'm finding the harmony hidden in myself; now I percieve more then I did before, starting to understand how moods are having their influence on people and their lifes, how situations and conditions work - am growing up.

I can understand myself better, can distinguish what I really like and what I don't. I did it before all the time just without being aware! But awareness is something that makes life sooooo interesting - just because you can change the way you think on every step you make. Changing the thought - changing the plan - changing the way you go.

Need to get over my own fears. They are so stupid. All of them! It's like a global cleaning, having a special order, special frame in your head. The main thing in this frame: it helps you to find new horisonts, be more creative, because you can't do anything without a frame - it's something that makes limits and gives you the thoughts. When you have a limit it's much more interesting when you are breaking it when it has something inside of it.

Enough for the start :)

Ok. Something at least miserably creative, but every day. I promise.

Hello, sketchbook. You are so empty. Didn't paint normally from last year's December.
What's new? New paper model. Didn't go as well as I expected.

This is a special space designed to be a meeting place for creative people: for painting, for reading poems, for making music. Pretty hard to describe all the details... Took me one night to make it + some previous preparations. It was always hard for me to work with paper this way, but I got over it this time :)

Any ideas? Have to work harder to have the time for interesting projects. Seems impossible.

What I actually did.

9 papers of English, a lot of illustrating material for the project, 2 orthogonal drawings :) started Descriptive geometry. Was making paper architectural model yesterday, so it's ok with that.
7 hours till morning - 7 hours for me to finish 2 schemes for tomorrow! :)

some text describing project, saving it all just for myself :)

english and orthogonals done!

well, to simple...but that's how nature have to look on architectural plots 

cover of my album for all of this materials

drawing 1, variation of outline, have to be vertical here :)

drawing 2, have to be vertical as well

text written for the 1st part of a project, might be useful for me :)

graphic exercises with the ink!

expressive lines made to become an outline of a plan  :) have to be vertical as well

emotional image of feelings that is suppose to transform into architectural work in the end

ma favourite part of graphic exercises! :D

a piece of shit. nope, it's a work "picturesquiness and regularity" :D

an outline of a project setteled upside down here, but anyway can be watched from all the sides.

Whats gonna happen today?

Today I will try to devote all my day to work. So, what should be there by the end of the day (italics can be done later) :
1) 2 schemes and 2 orthogonal drawings.
2) paper architectural model in progress.
3) illustrating material to the project (text, combination of picturesqueness and regularity, watercolours+project in perspective, expressional lines, outline of a plan, graphic exercise - 6 papers in total)
4) English stuff; it's easy but takes time.
5) Studying materials conspect - concrete.
6) Academical drawig work.
7) Started work of the Theory of architecture and urbanism subject.
8) Conspects of Theory of architecture and urbanism subject.
9) Descriptive geometry (oh so many papers!)
10) History of Arts vocabulary.
11) Abstact on the History.

Let's see. 

Didn't write for a long time. Many changes. Studying in Ural State Achitecture Academy. Still finding my feet in time management. Passed the first work. It was pretty bad for my level, but it's just my fault. Here's the pict.

Decided again that translating my thoughts would be useful. So hope I'll have enough time for that.

It just happened that be both needed the same at the same time. So it couldn't happen that it would be at the same place then.

I have 5 coincidences that tell me that coming to England this year is useless. And the thing is that I don't believe in coincidences but in destiny. Seems like all is ruining. Seems like all this year was just trash.

Ok, I'm 17 and I have cool and interesting life, good friends and opportunities to travel. Don't have to complain.

Here are some experiments with my pad. Well, am interested in what everyone sees there, but nobody ever read it. It has some special details that supposed to check how innocent you are ;)

Long time without writing.

Finally I got some time to write here.
I'm bothered with the thought that I won't understand anyone's speech when I'll come to Oxford this year. It's essential for me to make an effort now.
For this reason I got an idea that having an english blog helps to improve my language skills; so remembered about this blog.

A lot of different things happened to me recently. Am not talking about the exams and entering the university (as it was very hard but still not very significant for me). I really changed my mind and my notions about most of the aspects of my life. Seems that I'm opening something new every day, as it was with all of us in childhood. Well, maybe am growing up and it seems cute for me ;)

What about new works o'mine - don't really have them now as I was preparing for the exams and had to draw in academical technique for a long time. But I have some stuff I didn't publish untill now :)

Here is Dante's Hell finished, but I'd love to change it and the photo is terrible (sad that it's pretty usual for me). Lucifer here is scary and just a ghost, because it would be much more terrifying if he were there in his full image ;)

Anna Krasnova who made Poetical Vandalism with me (some notes before) was also working with Dante's creation, but she painted Dante's Heaven with Beatrice. I helped her a little bit with Beatrice's face.

Here is her work:

Another work we made was connected with Russian poets. We made it long time ago and also for the street, but didn't managed to hang it up yet. 

From left to right Sergey Yesenin and Vladimir Mayakovsky. Yesenin was made by me, Mayakovsky was made by Anna Krasnova. Some of their poems are written, acrylic, spray and gouache paints are used.

Excuse me for my stupid facial expression.

Yesenin closer. 

That's all for now; hope to have something new to write about soon!

Something new!

I finally changed myself and found something like self-harmony; would love to find a good place with indian meditations! Here's something new from me. My friend's portrait; there's a pinch of pop-art here, just because she's a model.

And a big illustration's progress. Dante's Hell.
La Divina Commedia,  Dante Alighieri

It's gettin' hard to finish it, because I filled with good emotions now.

Finally!

Finally we had finished our street artwork! The inscription says: "This time is hard for the feather." Like it's hard for the poetry, for describing ect.
The portraits and the frame are silver in real life, but the photo is bad... The time when this poets lived was called "The silver age of the Russian poetry".

We wanted our work to have social context. Besides that idea we want all the people know who this people are, so we have two helping points here; the first one is the phrase and the second one is their initials.

Here you can see: 

Alexander Blok

Sergey Esenin

Vladimir Mayakovsky

Anna Akhmatova

Marina Cvetaeva

The photo was taken with my mobile phone...

And it's me today in my winter clothes and with stupid face.

I'd love to add more winter to this photo, LOL

B-days

Had two creative evenings. My mum and the friend of mine had they b-days these days, so I had to make something for them :)
The first one was for my friend, I  spent 4 hours or so making it. I was inspired by her photos near the graffiti-wall, so I decided to make my artwork with my graffiti-paints and markers + using stencil as I did with the poets. Making stencil this time was so hard, because she had no photos with deep shadows on her face and I had to draw them by myself. And finally it had really small details to cut them out. But I'm pretty satisfied with the result, 'cause I reached the effect of mystery (and it's really important - she's a mysterious person).

Another one was made for two hours, because I realised I haven't got anything for her at the morning of 14th - her b-day. Her portrait was made with natural materials and palette-knife :) I had another idea in my mind, but I haven't enough time. Anyway I hope to make another one with the same theme of close connection of the human and nature.

that's all :)

Poetical vandalism.

Finally desided to make english blog here.
The idea is to post here all the things I create. Hope that will help me to create more :)

Here is something made yesterday by me and my friend Anna Krasnova. It's my first time with making anything at the streets.
There are some portraits of Great Russian poets located at the city centre. Never thought that making stencils takes so much time :)
Hope to make a big wall of poets, because every Russian have to know their faces... But for the first time we have only 4 of them.
Photo was taken at night. Hope to get another one soon.
