About the Artwork

The moment before the knife cuts

This is the product of several exercises on drawing and painting hands. 

Hands have always been an intimidating subject. After many failures, I finally mustered the confidence to paint it on canvas, using the material I'm least good at. This is a result of self-improvement. I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed learning and succeeding with this piece.

Strong contrasts between black and red evoke intensity. The realistic depiction of hands holding a knife and apple creates a sense of unease, symbolizing potential conflict or decision. The composition amplifies tension through precise focus on the central action.
