About the artwork

Black On White is a study in contrast and repetition. A network of lines forms an abstract pattern that balances between order and confusion. The composition seems simple - black on white, lines on plane - but each part just deviates from the previous one. What begins as a pattern grows into a visual exploration.

The lines intertwine, cross, interrupt and double. Sometimes they suggest a path, sometimes a blockage. The eye seeks an entrance, a direction, but finds something else each time. The depth created is optical, not physical - an illusion of layers, movement and space within a flat surface.

The white background is essential. Not just void, but active part of the image. It allows each line to speak individually, emphasises their sharp corners and gentle curves. Black and white are not opposites here, but dance partners: one exists by the grace of the other.

There is no central theme, no recognisable form. And yet meaning emerges. Not by what is depicted, but by what is suggested. Rhythm. Structure. Possibility. The work invites one to wander - not to arrive, but to keep looking.

Black On White transcends its application. As a print on textiles, wallpaper, packaging material or paper, it retains its abstract power. It adapts without losing itself. It remains a play of direction and space, of capture and release.

An image without a centre, but full of movement. No story - and yet it continues to speak.
