“Dream” by Egor Shokoladov

I create graphic art by a variety of visual art processes like pencil, pen and marker drawing, oil, acrylic and watercolor painting, and printmaking technique called etching. In fact, I often mix several of these methods and media in my artwork to better express my thoughts and impressions.

Most of my images can be compared to a riddle or a mystery of some kind - one can "read" the story behind them similar to how one would read a story in a book. I work in a variety of genres and my creations often show my mood and mental state at a given moment ranging in a spectrum from ironic and humorous to serious and reflexive. Personages and situations illustrated on my paper and canvas or engraved on zinc plates are easily relatable to and bring positive vibes into the world.

I pay close attention to details attracting the viewer to explore all parts of the story behind each of my artistic pieces with me. My style has a noticeable European shade as I am a recent immigrant from Eastern Europe.
