Knife & Glass

In this technique, the artist carefully paints the glass surface in black, and using various knives, the artist meticulously removes the paint until the transparent essence of the glass is revealed. The resulting incised marks, on their own, are insufficient to signify the completion of the artwork. To bring the artwork to its full fruition and make the image visible, the introduction of light from behind is essential. In this manner, the light that permeates through these incisions becomes the fundamental element, ultimately culminating in the picture's harmonious resolution.
