►“Between Two Selves” – Original Painting
Original handmade painting by Daniel Witschkanow, 2026
Description
“Between Two Selves” is an expressive portrait that brings two faces together in a composition charged with tension. A delicate yet energetic web of deep blue lines forms two profiles that draw close while remaining distinct. The work explores closeness, identity, and the fragile boundary between self and other.
The two faces seem like reflections of inner states. While the contours grow clearly defined in some areas, elsewhere they dissolve into free, almost floating lines. It is this very combination of precision and dissolution that gives the painting a powerful emotional presence and a distinctive depth.
The light background enhances the luminosity of the blue patterns and draws the eye directly to the interplay between the two figures. Up close, a lively web of lines and movement comes into view; from a distance, a striking figurative composition emerges. A modern, multilayered work about connection, tension, and inner bonds.
Technique
The painting was created using an experimental thread technique with fluid acrylic glaze. Controlled yet spontaneous movements produce countless fine lines, layers, and areas of density that come together to form a complex figurative structure. The subject thus develops from an apparently free, gestural process.
The lines grow denser into striking shapes, particularly around the eyes, noses, lips, and facial contours. This creates a fascinating balance between abstract freedom and a recognizable portrait structure. The fine, almost transparent lines contrast with the darker, more powerful areas of density, giving the work dynamism and depth.
The restrained palette of blue and white underscores the contemporary character of the work and enhances its calm yet intense effect. The open composition, with its generous white spaces, allows the subject to breathe and further highlights the delicate linework. The result is a distinctive one-of-a-kind work with a powerful visual and emotional impact.

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.
