A bird from an egg, a castle from ruins.

In Budapest History Museum, I learned that Buda Castle was destroyed many times in sieges, including Soviet Red Army’s against Nazis, and that what we see is in large part reconstruction after the War. The Castle looked different afterwards. The architects saw the castle from the ruins, as Magritte did a bird from an egg.

알에서 새가. 폐허에서 성이.

부다페스트 역사 박물관에서, 부다 성이 나치가 소비에트 군대와 싸울 때를 포함해 여러 번 포위에서 파괴되었고, 지금 모습은 전쟁 후에 재건된 것이라는 사실을 배웠다. 그 건축가들은 폐허에서 성을 본 것이다. 마그리트가 알에서 새를 보았듯이.

Pen & pastel, 2018

When I first finished sketching with pen, the flowers were almost invisible because of the crowded leaves. So I had to blur out most of the leaves with pastel and work on the flowers many more times. I can only wonder how old masters of pen drawing achieved clarity with lines alone.

처음 펜 스케치를 마쳤을 때, 복잡한 잎에 묻혀 꽃은 거의 보이지 않았다. 그래서 파스텔로 잎들을 흐리고 꽃을 여러 번 덧그려야 했다. 옛 펜화의 달인들은 어떻게 선만으로 명료한 그림을 그렸던 걸까.

Take Care / 안녕
