Charcoal and pastel portraits by Dirk Dzimirsky

Charcoal and pastel portraits by Dirk Dzimirsky

The artist choose drawing over painting as this allows him to create many layers over layers of lines and dots which react to each other in order to create a vibrant texture with directions and movement. This approach enables the finished work to be viewed more by the “senses” as opposed to the standard visual observation of a photo.

For Dirk Dzimirsky the practice of drawing is view as “reminiscent of scratching on a surface to observe what’s hidden underneath, where as the nature of painting projects more the inverse, covering and hiding details and forms that might have contributed to a sensuality of a work”.

    Why are the girls in the images are so sad?
    Did Dirk haven`t paid them good money?
    He is a great photographer, but a little more plying with photoshop colors and he would have had great photos.
