Figure_Yellow drawing Artwork

It was a time when I discovered “acrylic skins” and began experimenting with various mediums. I gathered all the pastes and gels used as mediums for acrylic paint. Each day, I would apply a new texture to the surface and eagerly wait for the next day. To document the process, I meticulously recorded the foundational drawings, the date I started the work, the mediums used, the types of pigments mixed (acrylic paints come in various formulations such as heavy body, fluid, powder, etc.), the date the paint dried, its appearance when dry, and how it looked when separated from the surface. This medium is slightly translucent, like frosted glass, and has a rough surface that allows for additional drawing materials to be added on top. I completed the artwork by adding a bit of charcoal and pastel on the dried (hardened) paint. *************************** If you look closely at a grain of sand under a microscope, each one has a different appearance. This is similar to the uniqueness of individuals. So, I work with the idea of observing people as if looking at each grain of sand without any narrative or emotion. I observe people’s gestures through the 70 to 100 figure sketches I draw each week. In this process of observation, drawing, and painting, I felt emotions and thoughts emerge from people’s gestures. I call this “gestures of contemplation.” And my contemplation inevitably gets reflected in the process of creating my work.
