Dirty Car Art: 10 Stunning Sketches By Proboynick

Nikita Golubev has made a name for himself as an artist who is “Digging Art out of Dirt”. He is a self-taught artist working on using different techniques and materials, from digital art to street art and art experiments. Since 2017, one of his unique hobbies that has been gaining in popularity is his 'Dirty Car Art' creations. While most of us have given doodling on dusty cars a go, these amazing sketches are in a league of their own.  Golubev's extraordinary level of talent is seen in his distinctive drawings that are intricately detailed and include replications of famous paintings such as the ‘Mona Lisa’ and ‘The Girl with the Pearl Earring’. Some of his work is inspired by animals, and his depictions of a lion, ape, eel and crocodile leave us ordinary folk rather awe-struck. Other sketches have cultural and pop references that resonate with global audiences who can appreciate this unusual art style.

Hailing from Moscow, Russia and popularly known online by @Proboynick, this incredibly skilled artist has transformed dirty and grimy trucks, 18-wheelers, cars and more into travelling billboards of his work. Golubev’s art may have been born from the dust and dirt, but they are stunningly impressive nevertheless.

Speaking about his work, Golubev claims that it’s his way of creating a dialogue with his city so he can send messages to the people of his megapolis. His mission is to try to make at least a few people see things a different way. He wants people to realise that it is possible to create beauty even out of something like dirt, and he hopes to fight dirt and pollution using art and humour.

What initially inspired this particular art form, @proboynick claims is that he was looking for large canvases where he could paint and work quickly. The idea to use large truck bodies is a novel concept that he believes is unique to his homeland. With a vague idea in mind and passion in hand, this artist claims he approaches every new “canvas” with gusto and has been pleased with the speed with which he could sketch out drawings. The ultimate result isn’t something he visualises or focuses on beforehand; he claims rather that he dives into the project and trusts the process to bring out the final outcome.
