My Dark Think

The face is realized through the acrylic, but using the watercolour technique: the different tonalities of grey are obteined through the technique of “ velatura a perdere”, i.e.once you have darkened a zone you cannot make it clear anymore. The white colour of the canvas is the light point. Because of these particulair techniques, the working needs care and precision and takes a lot of time. At first sight the result is an image which seems a print, but from close up you can see the completely manual processing.The background is a decorative motif.The face seems emerge from the background.
