Description: This work is one of my first abstracts. I started experimenting with various styles once realized I wouldn’t be following hyperrealism direction. I am confident I drew this picture around 1995-1996. I presume I wrote “2001” when decided to add the silver outline. I can’t be a hundred percent sure what the image symbolizes. My first call – some primal instinct (possibly related to sexuality). At the same time, I see a cell – some biological design – and a growing (developing in a womb) creature. Maybe the image represents a human potential? Since the meaning is vague, a viewer gets an opportunity to use their imagination as they please.
