THE MURKS is an art book, created in cooperation with the Ukrainian writer Olexandr Mykhed published by LutaSprava in 2016. To his 3 horror short stories I created a series of surreal acrylic paintings using different colour palettes for each story. Together, the text and the pictures create a macabre twisted world where everything is possible and nothing is real.
