Black and White

Black and White by Alice Mizrachi is an abstract figurative portrait that captures the essence of emotion through minimalist lines and stark contrasts. The artist’s use of acrylic and ink on Stonehenge paper creates a dynamic and expressive composition, reminiscent of a stream-of-consciousness narrative.

The subject’s face is suggested through a series of fluid lines that converge to form a central focal point. The large, expressive eyes, drawn with meticulous detail, convey a sense of depth and introspection. The interplay of light and shadow, achieved through the use of white chalk on a black background, adds drama and accentuates the emotional intensity of the piece.

Mizrachi’s approach to this work reflects her exploration of painting and drawing as a medium for personal expression and growth. The raw and unfiltered nature of the lines suggests a deep connection between the artist and the subject, inviting viewers to contemplate their own emotions and experiences.
