Art presented in this pencil drawing gallery is the print of my soul, a visible signature of what I am, a mirror of my inner life which reflects all of my subconcious impulses through symbolism of sacred feminine, where a woman represents a symbolic cornerstone of essential stages in life – love, birth and death.

The woman has always been the most significant symbol of eros, creation and generation, so that she was given a divine status and celebrated in Symbolism, Art Nouveau, Jugendstil, Liberty, Surrealism and surely in my pencil drawing art.

So it was the need to find answers to universal questions through the woman’s erotic figure that formed the aestetics of the art of decadence, placing the woman in focus where she transforms into a symbol of certain psychological aspect, from angel to demon, eros to thanatos.

We live surrounded with figuration, we dream figuratively, and thus it makes sense that the erotic symbolism which appears mostly in our dreams is also the erotic figuration.

And this is where I seek for my own expression, inside the monochromatic image of mystic land of dreams, where the pencil has proved to be a grateful technique that allows me to release my impulses to come to the fore while drawing, with a unique abillity to truly express symbolism of my creative imagery, revealing the archetypal depths of my psyche on the paper ( mirror). In the hand connected online to Id.

The aesthetics of organic Art Nouveau or Jugendstil elements which I use in my pencil drawings emphasize my desire to more closely approach to the very source of life creation. DNA spirals of the living creatures become a medium shaped by stylizied ornaments from which the very existance originates. The nexus between the spiritual and the scientific approach has been established because science and art are not adversaries standing one against another, but only two divergent ways of searching for answers to the same questions.

Initial inspiration of my imagination is found in mysical, visionary dreams exploring art movements of Symbolism, Art Nouveau, Jugendstil, Liberty and Surrealism, which my own style has been shaped from, expressed exclusively through drawing with the pencil and so Neodecadence would be the term that best describe it.

And therefore, welcome to Neodecadence .
