Cold wind
The graphic work “Cold Wind” is executed in a black-and-white palette using hatching techniques that create an effect of movement and atmosphere. The composition is built on the contrast between dense, intersecting lines in the center and looser, diverging strokes toward the edges.
The depiction of a house, a tree, and the surrounding space seems to dissolve in the streams of wind. The lines do not merely outline form but convey the sensation of the element that blurs contours and emphasizes the force of nature.
