Denis Chernov works in a wide range of graphic
and painting techniques, though his favorite is pencil drawing, which
covers such as landscape, portrait, nude, genre compositions, book illustration,
literary and historic reconstructions and fantasy.
Scholastic research luckily combines with his creative work to form
a single entity, by which the latter serves as attesting ground of the
sorts for his theoretical findings, and the former embraces and systemizes
the experience gained through workshop experimentation. The amalgamation
of these approaches is of particular significance for an acting artist,
which, for example, can be traced, in his work on the graphic cycle
“Symbols of Time in Eternity”.
