"Trauma" is a triptych that originally emerged intuitively. The first piece in the series began with a round canvas onto which I transferred a small sketch from my sketchbook, drawn in red and blue pencils. At that moment, I had no intention of creating a series, but during the process, I became captivated by the technique I discovered in this experiment.
At that time, I was part of the art group "Collapse", and I admired how Masha Lemon worked with painting—her ability to use flows of paint, create vibrant gradients, and achieve complex shades through the uneven spreading of liquid paint on the canvas. I decided to adapt this approach to figurative imagery, combining fluid washes with the sharp stylization of anatomical forms.
As a result, a series was born in which dynamic painting met graphic rigidity: male and female bodies outlined with black contours, reminiscent of an enlarged ink drawing. Gradually, the structure of the triptych emerged:

Each part carries its own emotional tension, but in the final piece, "Trauma," the technique becomes especially expressive and aggressive, bringing the concept to its culmination.
Like many of my painting projects, "Trauma" is a small yet self-contained series. I often work in short series of 3–6 paintings that do not imply continuation but form a complete artistic statement.
