Creating Atmosphere with Monochrome
Even a black-and-white painting can bring deep atmosphere and emotion into a space.
Inspiration Behind the Painting
When I began this piece, I chose natural imagery. Influenced by difficult news echoing in the background, I transformed nature into a monochromatic world—leaves turning into swords, and swords becoming leaves.
The Dance of Grays
The shades of white, gray, and black blend seamlessly, illustrating that many tones exist between pure black and pure white.
Reflecting Reality Through Art
This painting reflects how reality seeps into the creative world, and how it’s possible to view the space between two opposing extremes with nuance and depth.
