About this Product
"Black and Red" is an art print created from an original work, painted in 2023 on a 9 x 11 inch watercolor paper using only black watercolor paint. The work explores human connection to both, divine and earthly domains. I invite the observer to imagine the white spaces in red color. Does it add to the interpretation?
The art print is done using gloss photo paper, which is inserted into a 5 x 7 inch black paper card frame. The size of the image within the frame measures approximately 3.5 x 5.5 inches. The title of the work is written in the lower right corner of the card using white gel pen. A black envelope is included.

Meet the Maker
Hi! My name is Anastasiya. My spiritual awakening (or, an existential crisis :)) began a few years ago, when I decided I want to change my life and pursue endeavors which are personally meaningful and bring me joy. Art and poetry are two ways I express myself. Whereas my poems are usually born when I'm out walking around my beautiful town upstate New York, my artworks first begin with an idea. The ideas themselves are inspired mostly by the literature I read. Once the idea is conceived, I begin sketching. That's one of my most favorite parts of the whole process, because that's when the real magic happens. The idea evolves during the sketching process, and I just go along with whatever wants to emerge. Most often, the finished sketch differs significantly from the original idea! Then I paint the sketch in my home studio using watercolors. Because I am a self-taught artist, I am always working on improving my technique! I love watching other artists paint on YouTube and sometimes follow along and practice different painting techniques. I hope you enjoy my artworks. Feedback and comments are always welcome!
