Essence Painting

Description: While colors breathe vibrancy into our lives, black and white bring a sense of simplicity. The true essence of the subject. Inanimate, yet full of life. Divesting a picture of its color is like undressing; you see everything in its natural state, without any charade, without any distractions; everything raw and everything pure. Photographers all over the world know the power of black and white and how it can make something appear mysterious and real at the same time. Depth, dynamism, and simplicity are so beautifully wrought in black and white photos that you almost feel that the subject is going to spring to life. "Life isn't black and white. It's a million gray areas, don't you find?"― Ridley Scott About the artist’s work: Rina’s fascination with color, with what constitutes black or white, and whether either or both are actually defined as a color inspired her to experiment with divesting a work of all other colors. In doing so, the essence of the emotion, the heart of the thought and the simplicity of the image speaks volumes.

A thin layer of varnish protects the artwork against UV light and dust. This painting is not framed, but comes ready to hang with the sides painted.
