Art Brut drawing


 I’ve never been one to revel in the world of sports. Each time a game lights up the television screen, my hand instinctively seeks the remote, eager to escape. The charm of athletic contests has always been a mystery to me… until this momentous day.

Oh my goodness, what a revelation! I’ve never witnessed such elegance in an athlete. She stands tall, her strength matched only by her grace. Her movements are precise, deliberate. I find myself captivated, unable to look away. It’s as if she’s performing a dance with the ball, and the ball is more than willing to follow her lead.

Her large, black hair cascades and undulates, perfectly in sync with every nuanced movement. It’s mesmerizing, really, how it accentuates her every action.

She leaps, she sprints, she converses with the sphere as if it were a trusted companion. And she will never let the ball fall — it’s a vow she’s not prepared to forsake.

I gaze upon her, utterly transfixed, incapable of diverting my eyes, not even for a blink. At times, it appears as though she’s engaging in a playful dance with the sun itself, rather than a mere volleyball.

As the game concludes, the players join hands, their voices rising in a chorus of jubilation. The young woman’s visage radiates sheer joy, a testament to the triumph they’ve shared.

There I stand, contemplating how to close the distance between us, searching for the right words to express my admiration. Yet, one thing is clear: I cannot let this moment pass without knowing her name, without a clue of where to find her again.

I glance at my camera, my steadfast ally, and the solution emerges effortlessly.

“Excuse me, Miss, I’m a photographer. I observed the game and snapped some shots that I’d love to share with you.”

“Really? That’s quite surprising, but thank you.”

“If you’d be so kind as to share your email, I’ll ensure the photos reach you. The match was incredible… I’m Iñaki, by the way.”

“Thank you… I’m Eloise. Jot down my email.”

Helen _ Хелен

This is a tale that unfolded in the life of a young and vivacious girl named Helen.  Just two days ago, in a cozy gazebo, drowned in the greenery of ivy, her beloved proposed to her, presenting a ring with a small sparkling gem. Helen was over the moon with joy. From that moment, images of her future wedding began to whirl in her head like a whirlwind.

Falsa tristezza_Фальшивая грусть

Questo quadro, realizzato nello stile Art Brut, cattura con la sua esecuzione ingenua ed espressiva. A prima vista può sembrare semplice, ma nelle sue linee si sente una profondità di emozioni. I contorni semplici ma espressivi del viso e delle mani creano una sensazione di tristezza e alienazione, e l'approccio minimalista amplifica questa impressione. Quest'opera sembra invitare lo spettatore a riflettere sulle emozioni e sui sentimenti mostrati che in realtà possono essere una recita per il pubblico.

Mírame después. (Pentagon_Пентагон)

  In the artwork presented in Art Brut style, a distinctly unsettling atmosphere emerges, filled with unexplained visual noise. The face on the canvas is barely recognizable, as if it flickers between different realities, partially dissolving in a chaos of brushstrokes. The dominant colors — green, black, and pink — evoke tension and discomfort. Green and black spots, at times, resemble static lines, like an old TV screen when the signal wavers. The strokes are sharp, haphazard, creating a texture reminiscent of a blurred, distorted image, as if someone were trying to see through layers of noise. This effect heightens the feeling of a “blurring” of reality, where the line between the viewer’s world and the figure’s world fades and vanishes. The face seems incomplete, as if these strange waves of color are consuming it, and it’s on the brink of disappearing. The painting seems to capture a moment when someone finds themselves in a glitch zone, losing orientation, balance, and connec...
