Pitch black canvas. Sharp silver lines. And a gaze you can physically feel in the room.

This piece, part of the new "Living Gaze" series, is built on a trick of perception. Look straight on, and it appears to be just a graphic, hard male portrait in a mask. No halftones. No visual noise. Just acrylic on a 30x40 cm canvas board.
But take a step to the side, and the painting shifts. It’s the varnish.

The silver pattern of the mask and the eyes themselves are flooded with thick gloss. They greedily catch any light in the room, flaring up, gleaming. Yet the fragment of the face around the eyes is left dead matte. The skin feels warm, vulnerable, and scarily real against the icy, shiny metal and the dead black of the background.

Because of this optical dissonance, the subjects gaze is literally pushed outward. He isnt painted. He is watching.
This isnt a background interior piece. It’s a harsh, stylish accent that demands attention and requires the right space.
