Description from the seller
“Paradox Glaze” – Original Painting No. I
Original, handmade painting by Daniel Witschkanow, 2026
About the image:
“Paradox Glaze” presents an expressive portrait that emerges from a dense network of black lines and consolidations. The face remains clearly recognizable, yet it does not appear static or closed off, but rather as if in a state between dissolution and formation. This very tension gives the work its immediate presence.
The upward gaze and the slightly parting mouth make the portrait seem vulnerable, searching, and inwardly agitated at the same time. The impression is of a frozen moment – between tension, melancholy, and quiet intensity. The figure appears almost sculptural and at the same time fleeting.
The reduction to deep black and white intensifies the raw expressiveness of the work. From a distance, a closed, powerful figure emerges, while up close a complex network of threads, loops, and overlays becomes visible. Thus the image unfolds a special depth between abstraction and psychological presence.
Technique:
The painting was created in the artist’s characteristic thread technique. For this, high-quality, highly pigmented acrylic glaze is mixed with selected painting media until a fluid yet controllable consistency is achieved. This allows fine, vibrant, and precisely placed lines to be produced.
The color is transferred to the canvas with brush and hand in long threads, loops, and dynamic movements. In this way organic structures, dense consolidations, and open linear spaces arise that cannot be identical in repetition. Each trace is an immediate expression of the movement and the artist’s handwriting.
High-quality acrylic paints and acrylic glazes with intense pigmentation, strong color brilliance, and durable quality are used. The combination of controlled technique and spontaneous gesture gives the work its special tension. Each painting is a handmade unique piece.

Seller's Story
Daniel Witschkanow is a German artist with a Bachelor of Arts in Design and a particular passion for contemporary portrait painting. He early on autodidactically engaged with various painting techniques and sold his first works already at the age of 14. After completing his studies with concentrations in CGI, film and photography, he devoted himself entirely to fine art.
At the center of his work is the human being—not as a mere representation, but as a bearer of emotions, memories and inner tensions. His portraits move between figurative precision and experimental dissolution. This exact tension gives his works a distinctive expressive power and emotional depth.
A central feature of his art is the specialization in the thread technique he further developed as well as the expressive smoky technique. Through targeted use of glazes, painting media and flowing structures, unique surfaces arise where control and chance combine in impressive ways. The color seems to flow across the canvas, to hover, or to dissolve almost texturally into the motif.
Daniel Witschkanow deliberately works experimentally and combines in his works different materials and forms of expression. In addition to acrylic and glaze he also works with watercolor, oil and charcoal, giving his works additional depth, multiplicity and an unmistakable character.
Each work is a unique piece and an expression of an ongoing artistic engagement with identity, transience and the emotional complexity of the human being.
