Every car owner at least once faced the fact that his dirty car became the object of vandalism. Who hasn't seen the classic "wash me" or something even more interesting in their dirty car? For Moscow artist Nikita Golubev, dirty cars have become canvases. Blank canvases awaiting the touch of a master's hand to be transformed into incredibly beautiful, surreal works of art. What a pity that they are all destined to be covered with a new layer of mud or disappear without a trace in the pouring rain …
Moscow artist for whom dirty trucks are canvases
Nikita Golubev, who became famous under the nickname Pro Boy Nick, is a Russian artist. Nikita lives and works in Moscow. He himself calls his unusual creative activity the ability to turn dirt into art.
Nikita's works do not need advertising, they speak for themselves. He now has more than a hundred thousand subscribers on the Instagram social network. Their number is increasing all the time.
“I just wanted to create something completely new. It was interesting to try to learn how to quickly work on such vast surfaces. The mud-covered trucks helped me a lot with this. They have become for me a kind of giant canvases. It is with great pleasure that I share these drawings with other people,”Golubev said in an interview.
The artist's "vandal" works are so good that it is simply a pity to wash the cars afterwards. It is a pleasure to contemplate such pictures on the streets of Moscow, even if it is commonplace dirt on trucks.
The most important thing is to start
Nikita says that the hardest part of this creative process is getting started. He immediately adds that this applies to any area of art. “The most important thing about this work is that you cannot correct what you have drawn. In fact, it is very helpful for self-discipline. It helps me learn to finish my job when it's really time to stop."
Golubev says that he always aims to make the drawing as simple and clear as possible. The artist especially likes to give his paintings a certain depth and put a philosophical meaning.
“Dirt can be so different. It can be frozen, wet, dry. Its layer can be either thin or thick. This makes me look for an individual approach to work every time. When people ask how long it takes to create one such picture, Nikita replies that on average it takes about an hour.
“I get a lot of feedback from all over the world. Truck drivers themselves write especially a lot. People love what I do. It impresses them. They understand my messages. This is a great inspiration for me to be creative."
Truck drivers love Nikita's paintings
The artist is often asked if he ever got into an unpleasant situation because of his "vandalism". Nikita assures that this has never happened to him. Despite the fact that he never asked the owners for permission to paint on their cars, no one in the end was left offended by him.
“I never allow myself to pretend to be anything that could offend anyone or offend. I never discuss my ideas with anyone. But when I draw, I always remember that someone will find my drawing on their truck, and then drive it along the city streets."
Some owners don't wash their vehicles for months, storing Nikita's amazing work. They wait until they are completely covered with a layer of new dirt. The artist said that several times it happened that he began to create a new drawing when the previous one had not yet been erased.
