About

The series represents one of my core beliefs: a painting needs contrast to create drama or visual tension, which translates into a narrative.
The combination of an accentuated black background and minimal color emphasis gives this belief great weight; therefore, I developed a technique that puts the theoretical method into practice almost literally.

The technique is a hybrid of drypoint etching and brushwork on a controlled surface of charcoal dust, thinned with turpentine.
Charcoal and acrylic paint are used as materials to create the contrasting narrative according to the basic principle: light and dark, knowledge versus ignorance, good versus evil.

The color element exists within a black-and-white environment, where perceived autonomy depends solely on its surroundings.
Once this framework is understood, the final step follows: the spiritual, where universal interpretation comes into play.
