My Light Lie

The face in the foreground 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 obteined through the plane drawing up of black acrylic, with the pink pois, or gold pois.
Thanks to the combination of these two techniques the face seems emerge from the background.
