1992

A cycle featuring many portrayals of female figures adorned in gold juxtaposed with layers of murky inky pigments, Vesselin explores the contours of the female form, as well as sexuality, through his own individual artistic lens. Intense displays of passion and emotional intimacy are found throughout this cycle as Vesselin’s manipulation of color unfailingly breathes life into his otherwise silhouetted figures. Whether giving the viewer a window from which they can observe two kindred souls floating into one another’s loving embrace or offering a glimpse into an unknown induction ritual for a stoic queen, Vesselin utilizes his penchant for fusing color and texture to marvelous effect. Each hue applied to these works contributes a new dimension of sentimentality and amity.
