Moscow artist Nikita Golubev turns unwashed cars into masterpieces
24 April 2017, Monday

The Moscow artist has found an original way to save owners of cars that have not seen a sink for a long time, from the pain of conscience. The more dirt, the better "canvas", the illustrator Nikita Golubev is sure. The self-taught artist creates real works of art on the machines. 


Dirty Art, or "dirty art", has already brought him popularity. About Nikita shoot reports and invite to popular television shows.


Golubev painted his first "autographs" in early April. Since then, in his account in Instagram regularly there are new "pictures". The artist is convinced that his work raises the mood not only to passers-by, but also to the owners of vehicles, because they have a good reason and not to wash the car any further. Now the reproach in slovenliness can be defeated by the argument "I'm a fan of street art".


As practice shows, the owners of cars decorated with Golubev, in fact, mostly react positively to the transformation of their cars. So, the artist left the car owner, on which appeared one of the first paintings of Golubev - an owl. The man asked the artist to draw him such an image, but already with colors. Nikita plans to do this when it gets warmer.


Whatever the amateurs thought of writing on the machines, the trivial "Wash me," working with dirt requires great accuracy and does not give the right to make a mistake, because after erasing unnecessary, the dirt can not be returned back. Golubev creates his hands in gloves, sometimes using paint brushes to draw more subtle details. For one job, it takes an average of half an hour. It takes much more time to search for cars with "quality" dirt. According to the artist, the back doors of gazelles are best for his needs.


In search of the next canvas Golubev leaves early in the morning to work quietly, until the owner of the car came out onto the street. Without a professional education, the artist relies on inspiration. Most often, the heroes of his drawings are exotic animals. Golubev signs his creations pseudonym proboynick - although the life of his works is fleeting, the author's fame continues to live in photographs and videos in social networks.
