- "Quarry Machines 2" -
This is my second painting from the series of paintings "Quarry Machines"

This is one of the new paintings in the series about Kryvyi Rih Quarries, because my first acquaintance with the quarry was in 2018, when I was invited to the Metallurgist Day at Ingulets to draw postcards with sketches of quarry machines (excavators, bulldozers, white trucks, trucks, etc.).

Kryvyi Rih is a large iron ore mining city located in the Dnipropetrovska oblast in eastern Ukraine. I was born there. It was founded in the early 20th century when rich iron ore deposits were discovered in the region.

In 1881, a railroad line was built to Kryvyi Rih, which allowed the start of rail freight transportation. This gave impetus to the development of the mining and metallurgical complex, which quickly became one of the largest in Ukraine.

In the 1920s, coke and chemical plants were built to provide the necessary materials for iron and steel production. In addition, a research institute for metallurgy was established here, which provided the scientific and technical basis for the development of production.

During the Soviet era, Kryvyi Rih's quarries became one of the largest iron ore quarries in the world, which provided a significant contribution to the economy. At that time, a large number of new railroad lines, factories, and machine-building enterprises were built.

A unique feature of Kryvyi Rih is that five mining and processing plants (MPPs) were of city-forming importance for the city: Southern, Central, Northern, Ingulets, and the former Novokryvyi Rih. These enterprises are important for the city and the country. The city's mining and processing enterprises specialize in the extraction, processing, and production of raw materials for the steel industry: pellets and iron ore concentrate.

I dedicated this painting to the machines of Kryvyi Rih Quarries.
Since I live not far from the quarry, I see it often.
I was really fascinated by it then. The second acquaintance was already through an order in April 2020, when I had to paint 8 panoramic paintings with landscapes of a granite quarry located outside the city. At that time, I went to the granite quarry to take a photo and draw a sketch from nature. At that time, I discovered acrylics from a new perspective, I really liked to paint with lysers, acrylics on wet, because it gave a watercolor effect. So this painting is dedicated to the quarries, namely transportation and the people who work there.

The canvas is made with a marker, I took a marker and started drawing sketches of machines that extract coal, ore or other minerals, then added people who are working with this transport. I made several machines with acrylics, a huge excavator with a large bucket, a railroad car filled with dirt, and left the rest as they were with a red marker. In the background of the painting, you can see stones, dirt, pellets, granite and rock embankments that envelop the contour of the painting, quarry equipment in the form of bulldozers, drilling rigs, bilaz and other machines working in quarries.
