Imprisoned in Solitude

This artwork, created with the scratchboard technique on A3 paper, depicts a human figure in a state of isolation and sorrow. The intense, dark lines surrounding the figure and the surrounding environment effectively convey a sense of pressure and heaviness in the atmosphere. The high contrast in this technique has allowed for more rugged textures and rough lines, reflecting the disturbed and troubled state of the person’s mind. Here, the scratchboard technique has enabled the artist to create depth and a unique darkness by scratching the surface and adding texture, perfectly suited to the emotional and sentimental atmosphere of the piece. The placement of the figure in the corner of the frame, with their head resting against the couch, portrays a deep, somber solitude, enhancing the impression that the person is trapped within their own mind.
