I associate a jellyfish drifting on the waves with both lack of will and inevitability. The body of water is way to heavy for a small creature to truly resist. The jellyfish body is too light and soft to create any significant disturbance. All the jellyfish could do, if it could do it, is to place faith in mercy.
I stumbled upon an anime called “Kurage-Hime” (lit. “Jellyfish Princess”) when I was way older than the protagonist, but I was charmed with her character nonetheless. The story revolved around a young clumsy girl who dreamt of and drew almost exclusively jellyfish. The little dreamer wasn’t rejected because of her awkwardness, she even managed to create her own place in this world and to pull others into it, me included. I found surprisingly many similarities between us and a few striking differences one being the fear of open water. I’d rather study dinosaur fossils in a desert, even though I can’t stand heat, than whales in the ocean. Since I will probably see marine beats only in the documentaries, I might as well create a few by myself and study those alien creatures that way at least.

The drawing is 42 * 29.7 cm H/W.
The work is very detailed and of gallery premium quality, high resolution, unframed.
I used water-based markers to create different textures and depth.
It's soothing and would look perfect in a living room or bedroom.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Marker

Drawing made using a large felt with its own ink source. The ink may or may not be indelible.

Outsider Art

Invented by Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) in 1945, the idea is to create works with primitive graphics that take no academic reference into account. He will also advise to "draw like a child" and encourage self-taught artists.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.

An aspiring artist from the heart of Siberia doomed to warm up all my joints every 40-60 minutes due to a genetic condition. A socially awkward extroverted introvert, sexually attracted to music.

I've been drawing and painting for as long as I remember. Mainly horses, dinosaurs and other fantastic beats I imagined. I enjoyed coming up with a backstory for every creature I created: like, where it lived, or how it behaved, what happened to it, or if it had any friends or family. Oftentimes, I wrote those stories by hand on the back of the drawings.

In my teens, when I finally had an Internet access, I came across a manga & anime forum where contemporary artists tried this art style for the first time. I got mesmerised and spent hours looking at their artworks, they looked so fresh, nothing like I've seen before. Then I got into watching anime. At that time, it wasn't as popular and there were no online streaming services, so I had to put some effort to find a series to watch. Surprisingly enough, I didn't want to copy this style, I just liked certain elements to it and the sense freedom of expression. Its creativity blew my mind and influenced me a lot. It was then and there that I met my first artistic love -- a contemporary artist by the pen-name Nonhuman. And it struck me for the first time: you don't have to be dead and part of history to be an artist. I realised I could very well become an artist myself.

Although a self-taught artist, I enjoy attending courses, workshops and lessons here and there and will continue doing so to ensure further quality growth. I am open to experimenting, collaborations and willing to try different styles.
