Sparrow Boys (2023) Schilderij door Margot Raven

I always drew with pleasure and for hours. Early began to take lessons from teachers, then art school, college, institute. The graduation project was a personal exhibition at the Museum of Ethnography, Lviv. Then another series of exhibitions, then the birth of a child and work as an illustrator for quite a long time. Basically, it was a magazine and advertising illustration, including for the pages of famous brands on Facebook.
But recently she returned to non-digital drawing, became interested in sculpture, in collaboration with a colleague created several joint sculptural and pictorial projects for Kyiv galleries.
The works that I present here are more "domestic" in nature. At a certain moment, it seems, coincided with the coronovirus epidemic, I wanted to try myself in small formats, up to 100 cm, mainly in the technique of acrylic painting. It was also interesting to try different mixes of techniques, new ways of transferring images to paper, for example, printing with a Gelly plate. Then I decided to do some work on free-form plywood. You can also see them on my page.
In a word, the desire to draw, experiment with new materials and techniques supports me a lot now, when, by the will of fate, my family and I found ourselves in a country engulfed in war.
