Have you ever looked at scrawl and thought to yourself that you are looking into the eyes of madness? This is what happens when I look at the work of Krawczyk Stanislav, an artist from Kyiv, Ukraine. His drawings reek of death, loneliness, mental illness and true despair. Krawczyk portrays pathways into the valley of darkness, where spirits attack anything that is living. When I look at his work, I feel myself falling into the trap doors of a bad LSD trip. The way he draws is full of empathy that makes you care for the lost souls you are looking at. Krawczyk has the power to deconstruct the beings that he scrawls down to their essence. Nothing about his work is literal – it’s almost abstract, but the same time it conveys clouds of emotion. Today CVLT Nation is celebrating Krawczyk Stanislav with a collection of his work after the jump!

lft side 12th row down is not a Stanislav Krawczyk…it is a collaboration with Black Mass from Black Mass’ Opus Diaboli: The Possession exhibit…

Stan’s work is a look into the Darkness from the Darkness. They carry a special energy of primordial, raw Evil.

Only those eyes can see and capture the ghosts of the sickness beyond. Hail, Stan!

A definite inspiration to me, and a wicked portrait artist. It’s an honor to know Stanislav, and to have worked with him. Hail Stanislav!

Stan is hands down one of my top 3 dark artist favorites……His work is stunningly candid in its pathos and fear. To know Stan’s work is to confront the Darkness that lives within us all. Rick Zar

Stan’s work never fails to disturb. When I awaken from my nightmares, I try to forget them. Stanislav reminds me that they may be real.
