Discernment, an Automatism Expressionist Pastel Art, is an intriguing portrait that emerges from subconscious mark-making, capturing the essence of the moment of its creation. This technique, borrowed from the surrealist automatism movement, plays a significant role in the artist's practice. The artwork embodies the concept of 'discernment,' evoked by the figure's intense glare, seemingly intertwined with life's complex tapestry. The expressive nature of this piece is highlighted by the presence of fingerprints and marks on the paper, intentionally left unerased to showcase the authenticity of the artistic process.
