Abstract No. 89 | Painting on Cardboard

This small abstract painting, created with acrylic ink and white pastel on cardboard, has a striking monochromatic presence. It feels bold yet atmospheric, built from sweeping, layered gestures that form a compact, sculptural cluster of shapes.

Large, fluid strokes of black and smoky grey ink overlap and bend around each other, creating depth through their varying opacity.

Some areas appear almost transparent, while others feel dense and velvety, giving the composition a sense of shifting light—like reflections on metal or fabric in motion.

Across these dark, curved forms, white pastel lines cut through softly, adding contrast and structure.

They create a subtle grid-like rhythm, as if tracing the edges of the shapes or highlighting their movement.

These chalky marks bring hand-drawn element that offsets the smoothness of the ink.

The overall effect is dynamic yet controlled: a balancing act between fluid spontaneity and deliberate mark-making.

Despite its small size, the piece feels powerful and architectural—compact, intense, and visually compelling.

The artwork also carries a sustainable message - transforming leftover archival matt into a new work of art.
