Nestor Povarnin, Cool, 2002, paper /ink, 21 x 30 cm
Piece of work ... believe me, a weak picture


I thought there where the light comes
Earth-sun ineffable light,
Outshine the notice of white light -
And my heart in pain flame comes

But, on the brow of death bearing seal
Keep love from dying thirst
And in order to pay people sympathetic

Do not condemn, silence prints
My mouth closed her: I'm not thirsty,
Others to know how I cry ...

This is not a concept in its purest form. And not even a series of graphic works, made by Nestor Povarnin in different periods of life and creativity. This is his personal sense of reality, transformed into shaped row; he created a set of characters that can be used to convey the world that exists in another dimension, sometimes visible only to the eye of the artist.
Nestor's work should be seen primarily as a value in its own track, without the dominance of ideological and logical foundations, both for the sake of improvisation improvisation, in fact - they often slip thin grotesque humor, sometimes turning into a hidden irony, deep-felt and realized. When looking at the figures is a feeling on the one hand, the artist, taking the pen, did not know what he wanted to create, on the other - very precisely and logically reflects the inner state at the time of creation. This is underscored by the unique style of his drawings with captions, in the technique of calligraphy. By the mid-2000s. Nestor finally polished own line drawing style and monochrome painting in black ink, sometimes podtsvechennoy colors - despite the complexity of the plot, his works look like the original decorative stylization.

Nestor is in favor of compactness, partial images of objects and planar solutions specific to the Chinese and Japanese woodcuts, his works are also characterized by subtlety eastern pencil and ink drawings. His art monochrome painting, born in China, the art of "syuyboku" intertwined with florid ornaments of Persian, Indian, Arab miniatures. However, some authors slip echoes works of English Pre-Raphaelite painters, Aubrey Beardsley, Japanese charts - Hokusai, Oda, Hiroshige, and others
Fine in pattern, plane, symbolically bearing the seal and the special retrospectivist dark romance, the works of graphic art by Nestor on style can be placed in series with the works of St. Petersburg artists of the early twentieth century from the "World of Art". However, the work of Nestor inherent expressiveness, even some "foamed" form, as if torn from the inside, not typical for plots of the past.
Nestor Recreate the world in his head, reflecting the reality in whimsically twisted white lines on the black list or black - in white. Ornate ornaments patterned alternation of thick shadows and blind spots, a network of small points, he created a variety of effects, the complexity and clarity of image, infinity, so the audience can not understand neither the first nor the second nor the thousandth view.
Important feature of universalism was Nestor. Along with painting and drawing at the exhibition, painted ceramics, book illustrations, sketches, decorative panels.
In many works, the center of the shadow images are - actually it ephemeral, that in itself does not exist without real subjects. As if by magic they combine pedantic thoroughness of execution and a fantastic scale design. Whether the viewer to see in this strange maze of lines only grotesque appearance, or for external quirkiness hidden paradox of death of all the earth, the ephemerality of existence? The paradox of the artist - not fictional opportunistic reception for attention. This is the organic need to pour out your imagination on paper. In the hours of creativity Nestor lives a life of its illusory creatures, not like the earthly beings.
Aesthetics of immorality - the more precise specification of works of erotic cycle. On the one hand, these works have elements and grotesque perversion expressed mixed forms of the human and animal body, accentuated ugliness in hypertrophic sizes of different bodies. However, when looking at these pictures are not of the feeling of temptation, on the contrary - a refinement of debauchery slips original author's desire to find the beauty and originality in unnatural.
Narisovanna in different periods of the more fully disclose the dark despair of the artist in the desire to catch the ever elusive world of the intricacies of the illusory net woven of lines and spots, in order to stun and plenty of torment forever buried, to nothing ready and do not see anything around you inhabitants.
Art of the artist - not just a reflection of his inner self, it is - an expression occurring or premonition of things to come in time and space in which he lives. In the works of Nestor can be found echoes of mysticism, symbolism, and blasphemy, and satire, and pornography, but it will not accurately reflect the nature of his work.
Each creator in art his way along which he consciously or unconsciously, reflects the macrocosm of the microcosm of his work life. Sometimes the illusion of reality is perceived sharper and more vivid than reality. The modern era of intellectual revived interest in graphic art, freedom of association, individualism. Over the years that now seem delusional, crazy, fruit perverted fantasies come true and take its rightful place in the visual arts.


From the author:
I am a realist, I think, from a certain side, not making this up, such that it is absolutely impossible to see. It was amazing to know that my characters a word in the extinct peoples of the Far East, and also I was surprised when he realized that my graphic symbols can be found in the Vedic myths.
The more that we never learned. Most would agree that it's weird, and I agree. About 10 years trying to work is original and elegant. These are the principles of my work to date. And much better to know the truth: I sit down at my desk at 8 am, and draw up to 13 - 14 hours. And in the evening, too. This is not a regular practice, but they are not related to the spontaneous exercise of inspiration, more like sessions.
One figure takes 4-8 hours, there is certainly a picture that I drew a few days, weeks. I do not hardly ever sketches, sketches.
Many see in my work demonic, infernal images and ask: "Are you in my soul so dark?" These questions are usually asked by women, as a rule, and rarely men. I think that the problem is not women, and contemporary art, in which many of the synthesized images of the media, and few of the sacred, sincere energy fantasy. Therefore, when faced with the energy of my images, some ladies catharsis comes from the nature of the image of discomfort. Or from other experiences. Although I confess that I was indeed gloomy. So many had to sit in the room for my life.

Here ... we'll see. Amateur, as you? ))
