History

Monochrome painting has been a vital component of avant-garde art since the early 20th century, pioneered by artists such as Kazimir Malevich and later refined by mid-century minimalists like Ad Reinhardt and Pierre Soulages. This piece continues that tradition, exploring the subtle interplay of light, texture, and absolute darkness.
