Picture: Old postcard

We are in the memory, as in the secret place of the soul
we keep memories of the past days.
And in the turmoil of life, years of flickering
still, we are not in a hurry to part with them...
A ruthless time game...
And the rules of the game cannot be changed.
Looking at old postcards,
we connect the fragments in memory
in one, albeit with knots, a thread of life.

(E. Matveyevich, "Old postcards")

The painting is made in vintage style with pastel pencils according to the sketch with colored ink on cotton textured paper. Applied, for authenticity, the old French technique, which is still used in France when creating vintage and retro postcards and paintings. Halftone colors change depending on lighting. Pastel is on the verge between drawing and painting and requires very good lighting. Then the infinity of shades appears, the game of translucent layering.
