Serse — Acquatinto
Serse

Acquatinto

A delicate and precise work on paper, Serse's *Acquatinto* employs graphite to explore the subtle interplay of tone, texture, and surface. The work's mounting on aluminum lends it a quiet tension between the organic fragility of paper and the rigid permanence of its industrial support. The title's reference to aquatint — a printmaking technique — suggests a meditation on mark-making and the boundaries between drawing and reproduction.
