Found this old sketch of mine while looking for inspiration. This was an early stage of development for "Tomorrow", my short film from 2009, where I had an attempt to show a child's sense of beauty amid devastation of war.
A year and a half after the production was over, I met a person to whom I am grateful for the biggest inspiration starting from my early age. Yuriy Borisovitch Norstein, an author of "Tale of Tales" and "Hedgehog in the Fog" - my favorite films of all times. On the last day of our meeting I looked through my art with a hope to find something that has a soul, that has no touch of digital, something that I drew with a free mind, and stopped at this sketch. Next, it was framed with brown tape at the back and soon traveled to Moscow!
The sketch is wonderful! And a little bit sad at the same time. A horse is very touching. I have pity for her. It's very fragile and somehow seems lost. I love paintings like this one because of their subtlety. I like when there is left a lot to your imagination.
ReplyDeleteI love colors. They are hard and beautiful and dramatic. That is a beautiful piece of art, Ruah.
My very best to you from cold Utah.
Thank you, Kaya! It all ended well as it always does in a complete story. Thank you for stopping by. It's a treat to have your thoughts in here. And to you - my best.
ReplyDeleteIt's a dreaming little horse, dreaming of better times, dreaming of sun, dreaming of a friend. I love it!
