A Picture is a Poem
This is the process and the final result of one of the exercises I did during Marina Soria's workshop. The course "The Empty Space, Womb of Shape" was about exploring the negative space rather than the letters themselves to create new compositions.

So I chose to work with the quote "A picture is a poem without words" by the Roman philosopher and poet Horace to inspire me to look more for the shapes and less for the letters. From filling the negative space using a diamond as a base around the lettering, new shapes appeared and I could create new points of attention with an accent color with gold ink. To bring more dimension and texture to the composition, I painted the artwork with blue watercolor.
Thank you!
