Vibrations on a river 2018

Alfred Freddy Krupa made this painting, Vibrations on a river, with ink and pencil on paper. It's all about how the artist let the brushstrokes flow. Imagine him, maybe in a flow state, intuitively layering dark, wet ink to suggest the forms of a river. You can see the marks of his hand and the pull of the ink. The white pencil scratches create texture and shape, but also build a kind of vibration. I wonder if he was thinking about traditional ink painting while making this. The painting has that feeling of being in the moment, capturing the energy of the water. It’s like a snapshot of a feeling, transformed into something physical and lasting. Other painters have used similar techniques, each adding their own twist to the conversation around mark-making and expression.
