Description from the seller
► “Fragments of gods Identity – BLACK Style”
Original hand-painted artwork by Daniel Witschkanow, 2026
Description
“Fragments of Identity – BLACK Style” is an expressive, three-part original artwork that interprets human physiognomy in an extraordinary way, somewhere between figuration and abstraction. Three intense portraits emerge from a fascinating interplay of countless black lines, dynamic movements, and complex layers on a pure white background.
The two outer paintings show faces turned to the side and angled slightly upward, with striking lips, closed or shadowed eyes, and finely rendered facial contours. At the center is a forward-facing portrait whose deep-black eye areas and dense line structures create a particularly intense, almost mysterious presence. Together, the three faces form a composition that is both dynamic and harmonious.
The extraordinary effect stems from the contrast between delicate, almost weightless lines and powerful concentrations of black paint. Up close, the paintings appear like an uncontrollable tangle of abstract movements. Only when viewed from farther away do the human features reveal themselves, giving the triptych its impressive visual depth.
About the Artwork
“Fragments of Identity” explores how human identity is shaped by countless experiences, memories, and emotions. The three faces can be understood as different facets of a single being—as symbols of the past, the present, and the constant transformation of the self.
The seemingly chaotic lines symbolize the invisibility of our inner world of thoughts. They connect and overlap, lose their direction, and yet return to a recognizable form. The central face in particular conveys intense emotional tension, as though confronting the viewer directly with their own hidden feelings.
The work deliberately moves between beauty and imperfection, between order and loss of control. The faces appear both vulnerable and powerful, present and almost dissolved. By dispensing with color, attention is focused entirely on human expressiveness and the psychological impact of the lines.
Technique
The triptych was created using artist Daniel Witschkanow’s characteristic thread technique. This distinctive form of abstract figurative acrylic painting makes it possible to create complex portraits through the deliberate use of fluid black paint and dynamic, gestural movements.
Combining high-quality acrylic glaze with a special painting medium creates exceptional fluidity. This allows the paint to be guided in delicate, curved threads, while denser accumulations of paint form in certain areas. These contrasting textures create a fascinating combination of lightness and visual intensity.
An essential feature of this technique is the interplay of precise control and deliberately allowed chance. Each movement creates individual lines that cross, gather, and connect. Repeated layering creates shadows, contours, and expressive facial features without the need for traditional drawn shading.
The deep-black paint structures stand in intense contrast to the white canvas. While the open areas give the compositions space and lightness, the dense clusters of lines create expression, depth, and dimension. Each of the three paintings has a distinctive character due to its unique arrangement of lines, and cannot be reproduced identically.
