► "Bodies of Unsaid Things" – Original Triptych
Original, hand-made triptych by Daniel Witschkanow, 2026
Description
"Between Us" connects three expressive panels into an emotional narrative about closeness, encounter, and the fragile relationship between two people. The two outer works show highly abstracted profiles, while in the center two faces come close to one another. This creates a clear movement toward the middle—as if the entire triptych is converging on a single intense moment.
The figures arise from a dense network of black lines, drops, and densifications. Eyes, lips, and facial contours are only partially defined and repeatedly dissolve back into the abstract structure. It is precisely this interplay between recognizability and dissolution that gives the work its emotional tension.
From a greater distance, the human figures stand out clearly, while up close a complex network of fine threads, spontaneous movements, and bold black areas reveals itself. The triptych thus appears at once raw, intimate, and elegant.
About the image
At the center of the work is the relationship between people. The side portraits seem almost like two separate thoughts or states, while a encounter develops in the central image. Two faces come very close together — a moment between distance and touch, between restraint and surrender.
The composition deliberately leaves open whether this is love, longing, memory, or a farewell. It is precisely this ambiguity that makes the work emotionally accessible: the viewer can discover their own story between the figures.
The lines connect the individual shapes and repeatedly cross the boundaries of the bodies. This creates the impression that thoughts, feelings, and memories flow back and forth between the people. The three canvases thus form a shared emotional space.
Technique
The triptych was created in the artist’s characteristic thread technique. High-quality acrylic glaze is mixed with selected painting media until a fluid yet controllable consistency is achieved.
The color is drawn with brush and hand, guided, hurled, and selectively condensed. Through numerous overlays, both hairline lines and intense black surfaces emerge, from which faces, profiles, and points of contact develop.
A key component of this technique is controlled randomness. No line can be exactly repeated. As a result, each of the three canvases has an individual texture and, together with the others, forms a completely handcrafted original.

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.
