Description from the seller
► “Held Between Black CHAOS” – Triptych I (XXL)
Originales, handgefertigtes Triptychon von Daniel Witschkanow, 2026
Über das Bild
Three canvases, one movement. In the center rises an expressive human face, flanked by two monumental hands. Together they form a composition that feels like a single moment — captured between control, inner tension, and the attempt to grasp something invisible.
The two hands give the central portrait an almost sculptural frame. Their fingers emerge from countless black lines, condensations, and flowing structures. They appear simultaneously powerful and fragile — as if they could protect, hold, or disappear again in the next moment. The central face forms the emotional culmination of the triptych. The upward gaze lends the scene something dramatic, almost liberating.
What is particularly fascinating is the interplay between figuration and abstraction. From a distance, the face and hands are clearly legible. As you approach the canvases, the motifs dissolve increasingly into a complex network of lines, droplets, and spontaneous movements. The work thus changes with every viewing distance.
The consistent reduction to black and white gives the ensemble an elegant, timeless quality. At the same time, the extreme contrasts create a strong presence, making the triptych a striking statement piece, especially for generous, modern, and upscale spaces.
Technique
The triptych was created in the artist’s characteristic thread technique. For this, highly pigmented acrylic glaze is combined with selected painting media to achieve a flowing consistency that enables both controlled and spontaneous movements.
The color is drawn onto the canvas in long, partially hair-thin threads. Numerous overlays create a complex network of lines, while targeted condensations highlight individual anatomical areas. Fingers, eyes, mouth, nose, and facial contours are not formed by classic closed surfaces but almost entirely by the interplay of the individual color traces.
The special feature of this technique lies in controlled randomness: Each movement influences the next, every color gradient is unique. Therefore, the resulting structures cannot be identically reproduced. Each of the three canvases is thus an independent handmade unique piece and at the same time part of a deliberately harmonized overall composition.
High-quality acrylic paints and glazes provide intense blacks, clear contrasts, and long-lasting color effect.

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.
