Art is a journey of perception, and my **Vanishing Point** series is an exploration of depth, movement, and the essence of wildlife through carefully placed lines and negative space. This collection is a fusion of precision and abstraction, where the presence of an animal emerges not through traditional form but through the very absence of it.
The **Vanishing Point** series is built around a single point outside the canvas, guiding an intricate web of hand-painted lines. These lines, radiating from the unseen vanishing point, create the shape of an animal using the surrounding black space. The result is a striking contrast—vibrant, flowing colors against a deep black background—that brings each subject to life in a unique and dynamic way.
The Process
Each piece begins with a vision. I carefully select a wildlife subject that embodies movement, grace, and presence. Using a digital tablet, I map out a vanishing point and begin layering fine, precise lines. Line by line, color by color, the portrait begins to take form, as the black negative space carves out the essence of the animal.
Unlike traditional portraiture, where details are painted directly, here, the subject is shaped by what is left untouched. The black background acts as a void, emphasizing the contrast between light and dark, energy and stillness. The final artwork is printed on **metal**, enhancing the vibrancy and depth of the colors, making the piece glow with intensity.
Why Wildlife?
Wildlife has always been an inspiration for me—its power, elegance, and connection to the natural world. By using this unique technique, I aim to capture not just the physical form of these creatures but their presence, their spirit, and their movement. The **Vanishing Point** series invites the viewer to see beyond the obvious, to engage with the interplay of space, and to appreciate the balance of structured lines and organic life.
Experince the Art
The best way to experience these artworks is in person. The prints on metal give an added dimension, enhancing the illusion of movement and depth. The light reflects differently depending on the angle, making each viewing experience unique.
