Description from the seller
“Between Two Breaths” – Original Painting No. I
Original, handcrafted painting by Daniel Witschkanow, 2026
About the picture:
Two faces meet in a condensed moment of closeness, tension, and unspoken contact. Their contours emerge from a free mesh of black lines and seem to almost connect with each other at the center of the image.
The figures are simultaneously drawn toward each other and held emotionally at a distance. Between their gazes, an open space opens up, like a brief breath before a touch—intense, fragile, and full of anticipation.
The horizontal composition reinforces the interplay between both sides. Large light areas give the work ease, while black densities and spontaneous line movements create a lively tension between intimacy, restlessness, and connectedness.
Technique:
The painting was created in the artist’s characteristic thread technique. For this, high-quality, heavily pigmented acrylic glaze is mixed with selected painting media until a fluid yet controllable consistency is achieved.
The color is applied to the canvas with brush and hand in long threads, loops, and dynamic movements. This creates delicate connections, organic overlays, and powerful densities that cannot be identically repeated.
High-quality acrylic paints and acrylic glazes ensure intense blacks, high color brilliance, and long-lasting quality. The combination of controlled linework and spontaneous movement makes the painting an unmistakable one-of-a-kind 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.
