U-Araks Sahakyan ungumdwebi wase-Armenian wase-Hispanic ohlanganisa ukudweba, ividiyo nokusebenza.Ngemuva kwethemu lika-Erasmus eCentral Saint Martins eLondon, waphothula ngo-2018 e-École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Cergy (ENSAPC) eParis.Ngo-2021, uthole indawo yokuhlala eParis Painting Factory.

Bengidweba omaka kusukela ngisemncane.Imibala yazo eqinile futhi egcwele ikhombisa umbono wami ngezwe kanye nezikhumbuzo zami.
Sekuyiminyaka ngisebenza kuphrojekthi ephefumulelwe yeragi kanye nencwadi eyenziwe ngephepha lamahhala eligcinwa ebhokisini elithi, uma selivuliwe, liphenduke libe umdwebo.Kuwumsebenzi wokuhlanganisa, ubunikazi obuhlukahlukene kanye nezimo ze-geopolitical ezihlangene kanye nokushintshisana kwabantu
Ngihlale ngihlanganisa okuhlangenwe nakho kwami nokuphila emlandweni ohlangene, ngoba uma umlando ungeyona ikholaji yezindaba ezimbalwa ezincane eziseduze nezomuntu siqu, kuyini?Lesi isisekelo semiklamo yami yokudweba, lapho ngisebenzisa khona iphepha nomaka ukuze ngizame ukuveza indlela engizizwa ngayo nokuthi yini engithakaselayo ngomhlaba.
Njengoba wonke umsebenzi wami umayelana nombala nomugqa, ngingathanda ukuphawula ngolwazi lwami nge-Promarker Watercolour, engiyisebenzisayo ukudweba imidwebo yami.
Emidwebeni yami eminingana yakamuva, ngisebenzise uhla oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ukudweba izinto eziphindaphindayo njengolwandle nesibhakabhaka, kanye nezingubo ku-Self-Portrait ekwindla.Ukuba khona kwe-Cerulean Blue Hue ne-Phthalo Blue (Umthunzi Oluhlaza) kuhle kakhulu.Ngisebenzise le mibala emibili engutsheni ethi “Self-Portrait” ukuze ngigcizelele lo “mqondo oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka” ozolile phakathi kwesimo esiyinhlekelele esiphepho ngaphandle nezikhukhula zangaphakathi.
Futhi ngisebenzisa ophinki abaningi, ngakho-ke ngihlale ngibheke omaka be-pigment kulawo mathunzi akhanyayo.I-Magenta iqede ukusesha kwami;akuwona umbala ongenalutho, icacile futhi yenza lokho ebengikufuna.I-Lavender ne-Dioxazine Violet ngeminye imibala engiyisebenzisayo.Le mithunzi emithathu ihluke kahle ebomvana ophaphathekile ebengiwusebenzisa kakhulu muva nje, ikakhulukazi isizinda esifana nomdwebo othi “Uthando Lwami Lumunca”.
Esithombeni esifanayo, ungabona ukuthi imibala ehlukene ihlanganiswa kanjani.Ama-pigments kulawa maki anamandla kakhulu, okungivumela ukuthi ngiwahlanganise ngezindlela ezimangalisayo, futhi umphumela uba mahle futhi unhle.Ungakwazi futhi ukushintsha imibala ngokunquma ukuthi yimiphi ozoyisebenzisa eduze komunye nomunye;isibonelo, uma ngisebenzisa umbala opinki ophaphathekile eduze nohlaza okwesibhakabhaka, obomvu, oluhlaza okotshani, nomnyama, ubukeka uhluke kakhulu.
Imibala yamanzi ye-Promarker inama-nibs amabili, eyodwa efana ne-nib yendabuko kanti enye enekhwalithi yebhulashi lokupenda.Sekuyiminyaka embalwa manje, ubuciko bami bugxile ekudwebeni omaka, futhi bengilokhu ngifuna izimpawu zokupenda zekhwalithi ephezulu ezinemibala ecebile ne-pastel.
Engxenyeni yomsebenzi wami, ngasebenzisa i-marker nib engangiyijwayele, kodwa ilukuluku lami lobuciko langiphoqa ukuthi ngizame i-nib yesibili futhi.Ngezindawo ezinkulu nezingemuva, ngithanda ikhanda lebhulashi.Kodwa-ke, ngiphinde ngiyisebenzisele ukucwenga izingxenye ezithile, njengamaqabunga ephepheni lokudweba le-Self-Portrait ekwindla.Uyabona ukuthi ngisebenzise ibhulashi ukuze ngengeze imininingwane, engiyithole inembe kakhulu kunethiphu.Lezi zinketho ezimbili zivula amathuba amaningi okudweba ukuthinta, futhi lokhu kuguquguquka kubalulekile kimi.
Ngisebenzisa i-Promarker watercolors ngezizathu ezimbalwa.Ikakhulukazi ngenxa yezizathu zokongiwa kwemvelo, njengoba i-pigment esekelwe futhi ngenxa yalokho ilula njengama-watercolors endabuko.Futhi, banikeza izindlela ezimbalwa zokudweba ukuthinta besebenzisa amasu womabili, futhi ekugcineni, imibala egqamile ilungele umsebenzi wami.Ngokuzayo, ngingathanda ukubona ama-shades amaningi akhanyayo afakwe eqoqweni njengoba iningi lawo limnyama kakhulu.
