A woman and her cat

  • Justine Acheampong

Digital Art: This piece explores the contrast between light and dark, dabbling with literal and figurative concept of the two subjects. In the painting, the woman and cat are characterised as silhouette figures in pitch blackness, and the only source of light that awakens them is from their eyes and from behind them. Light acts as a breath of life for both subjects, indicating they're not just shadows but living beings. The light behind them further brings out their forms. Dark acts as a symbolic representation of the optics that a woman and a black cat represent, both within and outwardly.
