Mindbook

Mindbook — abstract ink sketchbook

Mindbooks are sketchbooks of my thoughts. Alongside a diary, I process my thinking by drawing — the pictures are mostly abstract, often without names. I want to give every viewer, including myself, free scope for interpretation: there is no right or wrong.

Dense wavy lines flow across the page, leaving narrow white channels between them
Surreal ink scene of hands, profiles and small figures crowding around an open mouth
A face in profile whose hair streams out to the right as long ribbons across a black field
A minimal line study titled «Bicycle»: two arcs meeting a hatched fork, seen head-on
Flowing organic shapes built entirely from stippled dots
Geometric composition of concentric circles, a crescent and a lens shape in dense hatching
A wide, tightly packed field of interlocking doodles in black and white

The basic idea is “just getting started” — not planning every detail in advance, not knowing beforehand what will appear. I find that process exciting: while drawing I keep reorientating myself, as the whole work shifts slightly after every black line on the paper.

Vertical lines of shifting density form two blocks and a moiré-like shimmer
Three diagonal bands densely filled with leaf and petal shapes
A dense doodle field titled «Camogli», packed with creatures, spirals and eyes
A bird-like figure with a single eye holds two textured shapes among falling leaves
Gold strokes glow out of a band of black vertical marks
Stippled mountain peaks in front of a large white disc against a dark sky
Three overlapping circles of concentric rings, like records on a dark ground
Leaves and spirals in black line work with gold accents on a speckled ground
