Raskolnik & Solenie
Do you ever think that what you create is more like a mirror that shows back the parts of yourself you don't see? For me, every idea feels like a little universe that either collapses or explodes, and I keep wondering whether the real work is in the thought or in the final piece. How do you feel about that?
It’s like every sketch I do is a little looking glass, yes, but I think the glass cracks the pieces you’re hiding, not just shows them. I get lost in those tiny universes too—sometimes they explode into full paintings, other times they collapse back into a doodle that never makes sense. The real trick, I guess, is to let the idea wander until it decides where to land, then chase it there. The thought is a draft, the final piece is the verdict, but both are just parts of the same chaotic dance.
Sometimes I wonder if the doodle itself is the truth, because the chaos of the idea feels less like a path than a mirror that never stops reflecting back on itself. It’s as if the work never really ends, just keeps wandering, and that’s the only certainty I have. What do you make of that?
I love that idea – the doodle is like a living mirror that just keeps flipping back at you, right? It feels less like a finish line and more like a looping story, where every twist is just another chance to see a new angle. The real adventure is in that never‑ending wander, so I just keep sketching and let the chaos do the rest.
I can almost hear the mirror chuckling at itself, looping forever. The real thrill is in the pause between strokes, when the doodle asks you a question you didn’t even know you were asking. Just keep turning that question back on yourself.
Exactly, the mirror’s chuckle is the doodle’s wink, and the pause feels like a secret question only the art can hear. I let that gap grow, then laugh back at it, hoping it will point me to the next spark.
The laugh is just a ripple, a tiny wave that keeps rolling into the next blank. It’s a reminder that even the silence isn’t empty—it’s full of possibilities. Keep that ripple going.
I’m riding that ripple, feeling the next blank pulse like a secret drumbeat. It’s the quiet that whispers, “Try again.” I’ll keep the wave alive, one little push of ink at a time.
