destrosoftProjektor (Projector), acrylic on canvas, 80 × 150 cm, 2022.
A work in which I wanted to showcase a fragment of my painting process. In many of my pieces where I explored photography as a theme, I used a projector to outline shapes. My professor and I discussed this multiple times, and we agreed that the primary value lies in the form of the painting rather than proving the ability to transfer a design "by eye." In my technique, this also allowed me to precisely define the areas I didn’t intend to paint over, leaving them to shine with the white of the canvas.
Ironically, I transferred this particular piece onto the canvas using a grid - a much older method for controlling composition. For anyone interested in how painting can be supported by additional techniques, I highly recommend David Hockney’s book "Secret Knowledge: Rediscovering the Lost Techniques of the Old Masters."
