Dirk Dzimirsky

[1] Dirk Dzimirsky (b.1969) is a German artist best known for his hyperrealistic drawings and paintings depicting human being in a somewhat dark artistic mood, relentlessly revealing the vulnerability and tragedy of their condition. The artworks are based on a selection of photos. All the complex details and surreal. overreaching compositions of light and shadow intend to create a dramatic feeling and intense emotions for the viewers. 

Dirk Dzimirsky mostly portraits female models in his artworks. It is not his goal to create nice or pleasant portraits, as close to the subject as possible, but to display the intense emotions, that are concealed beyond the visual surface. The subjects have a very strong narrative character, each face telling it's own story. Lost souls, wounded beauties, fragile personalities.
I would love to capture the intensity of emotion that Dzimirsky captures in his artwork.

Dzimirsky's photo-like portraits are organic and atmospheric, he uses a mixture of light and dark diffused tones to acquire the beauty and realism in all his work. He uses soft and accurate lines that blend seamlessly together which creates his trademark unblemished human form that he's able to capture with graphite. I am completely inspired by Dirk Dzimirsky's talents and aim to show true, pure emotion in my work just as he does.
