About this artwork
I chose the grisaille technique for the motif to express its character.
Grisaille is a painting based on a limited color palette of black, white, and gray tones. It is often used as an underpainting to model the form and play of light and shadow of a subject before applying colored glazes.
The technique was widely used in the Renaissance and Baroque periods to create three-dimensional effects on flat surfaces and to imitate sculptures.
Grisaille… can be considered a form of monochrome painting, with the colors created by different shades of gray.
There are different types of grisaille, such as open (with diluted black) and closed (with black and white).
Well-known examples include paintings by Jan van Eyck, Mathias Grünewald and Pablo Picasso.

« The inner man cannot appear to himself without magic. »
Matthias Bargholz is an artist based in Germany whose paintings have been exhibited nationally and in Brazil. In addition, his art has been featured in publications such as the Ostsee Zeitung and the Hagenower Kreisblatt. Originally inspired by classical modernism, Bargholz views the line as an independant and active element in a composition, as well as being "the direct expression of intuition and the infinite possibilities of form". His distinctive pieces are created with acrylics and oils on canvas.
