Olga Vayshbein
Artist, illustrator.

My preferred technique is monotype combined with freehand drawing. For me, the monotype process serves as a form of interaction with the universe; the initial stains are accidental, gradually taking on a form, a life of their own, and a distinct individuality. As a result, they begin to convey my feelings and the story I aspire to tell. Sometimes I am the one who decides what comes out of the stain and sometimes it is the stain that dictates to me the image that will be created out of it.
These evocative forms often mirror a Rorschach test, inviting the viewer to complete the image with their own imagination and provide a personal interpretation of the story unfolding on the paper.
I view monotype as a paradigm of emotional states - a transformation of the subconscious that touches upon the sublime depths of the soul.
