In "Krita," Ksenia Sizaya explores forms and structures influenced by midcentury modern design and abstract expressionism. Combining pastel and charcoal, the deconstructed still life captures the essence of objects through sketched lines in muted earth tones. "The lines are varied in thickness and intensity, adding a dynamic 3D-like quality to the flat canvas," the artist explains. Presented in an FSC ®-certified wood shadow box frame. CB2 exclusive.
