Timber Wolves have long been on my artistic agenda, patiently awaiting the perfect composition that harmonizes with my distinctive style. Finally, I believe I’ve discovered it with Silent Shadow…
Drawing inspiration from my previous study of a Chimpanzee titled ‘Midnight Feast,’ I sought to incorporate elements of the ‘Gestalt’ technique. This method, utilizing shadows to evoke the unseen aspects of a subject, adds depth and intrigue to the artwork.
The outcome achieved in Silent Shadow fills me with immense satisfaction. Additionally, I take pride in the subtle touch of silver leaf adorning the left-hand side of the canvas. Not only does it introduce textural contrast, but it also elevates the overall visual impact of the piece.
However, if I’m to confess, my fondest admiration lies with the bare wintry branches gracing the bottom corner of the composition. There’s an inexplicable allure to these branches, particularly in their almost three-dimensional appearance, which I’ve found challenging to replicate in subsequent works. It serves as a reminder that artistic mastery is a journey fraught with challenges and discoveries, each one contributing to the evolution of one’s craft.
Throughout my journey as an artist, I’ve tried various surfaces & colours… From acrylics on boxed canvas to the refined oils on board I now employ. Each combination wields a distinct influence over the final outcome. Canvas imbues a rustic charm, its weave adding texture. For intricate details, only oil on board suffices, offering subtle nuances and unmatched ability to blend.
Yet, my attention extends beyond the artwork itself; the frames for Original Artworks hold equal significance. Through experience, I’ve learnt how a well-selected frame can elevate a piece, sometimes even reshaping its interpretation. Every choice, from canvas to frame, is a deliberate step towards crafting not just art, but an experience.
