Alexander Ovchinnikov does not consider himself an artist. First of all, he is the creative director of MILK Creative Agency. And what hundreds of people admire - his illustrations - is not work. This is a rest, this is for the soul. It's not for nothing that the art project that Alexander is working on, when inspiration comes to visit, is called Not For Sale (not for sale). Although he usually works just for the sale, which is even written on his creative website. In his creative archive, Alexander has a lot of curious illustrations that would characterize him precisely as a talented artist. But the most interesting, as for me, is a series of paintings called Black Album … But despite the fact that black is really dominant here, the overall impression is still very bright. As well as some details of the pictures.
You will not find grief, doom and pain here. Perhaps thoughtfulness and slight sadness - it doesn't matter for what. And for sure - dreams and fantasies, without which a creative person is nowhere, since they are his guide, and sometimes even a guide.
These and other works by Alexander Ovchinnikov can be seen on his Not For Sale website.

If you look at the history of his family, then everything that happens is more like revenge … to his father. Bloody revenge for bloody atrocity
Acrylic with milk. "Living Pictures" in the art project of the artist Alexa Meade
It is customary to say "blood and milk" about strong, stately, healthy people. But it is better to apply a different expression to the participants in the shocking art projects of Alexa Meade - acrylic with milk. The young artist has already become famous for transforming people into "living pictures", covering them with acrylic paint as if they had just come off the canvases hanging in the art studio. And in a new project called "MILK: what will you make of me?"
Pictures from multi-colored wires. Contectado Art Project by Federico Uribe
Experimental artist Federico Uribe, whose surreal paintings from shoe laces and sculptures from colored pencils have already been heard by the readers of Culturology, has invented yet another non-standard way of drawing. Now he decided to use old cables and wires in a multi-colored sheath and the most ordinary office scissors instead of paints and brushes. The artist named his new art project "Contectado"
Pictures from pictures. Mosaic canvases by Charis Tsevis
Artists and illustrators tend to create their own images, and designers are commonly referred to as "picture makers" because they create their images from ready-made drawings, photographs or shapes. The Brazilian author Charis Tsevis is also such a "picture designer". From various photographs, illustrations or just geometric shapes, he creates unusual mosaic portraits
Photo project "Animalia": animals are not people, and people are not animals
Imagine an empty, empty city where there is not a single person. Empty houses, workplaces and public places, empty streets and parks. There is not a single human soul. No life. Rather, there is no human life, but there is an animal
