The original sketches were completed between 12-15 years ago and developed today. The artworks called Infinite Intensity 1 and 2 unfold onto black paper where the absence of colour serves as a backdrop, intensifying the stark contrast of the white charcoal strokes. The composition centres around two entwined figures engaged in a BDSM encounter, their bodies becoming an intricate dance of shadows and illumination. The composition is dynamic, with sweeping lines suggesting movement and fluidity. The figures are engaged in a carefully choreographed dance, exploring the boundaries of pleasure and pain. The artist captures the essence of the BDSM scene by depicting the exchange of power and trust through the nuanced interplay of light and shadow.
