Black Angel

Acrylic on Cardboard 60 × 80 cm Framed Original Artwork
Black Angel is a powerful monochrome acrylic painting that explores the tension between shadow and illumination — the dual forces that shape the human spirit. Inspired by a graphic designer’s photograph, the winged figure emerges through expressive brushwork and layered textures, blending realism with symbolic abstraction.
The composition captures a moment of suspended motion: a guardian‑like presence, part angel, part rider, part myth. The wings suggest freedom and transcendence, while the dark palette evokes mystery, inner conflict, and transformation. This contrast between light and shadow gives the portrait its emotional depth and contemporary edge.
Exhibited internationally at the BIENNALE ARTBOX EXPO during the Venice Biennale 2022, the artwork bridges personal inspiration with universal themes — identity, resilience, and the unseen forces that guide us.
Ideal for collectors who appreciate symbolic portraiture, expressive monochrome art, and contemporary acrylic paintings with narrative intensity.
