'Soft Roughness' is a striking piece of Abstract art, drawing the viewers into a world where reality is purposely obscured. True to its name, the artwork interplays between soft hues and coarse textures - an embodiment of contrasts. This tactility is primarily achieved through the adept use of Tempera on Cardboard, outlining the peculiarity in roughness yet evoking a sublime softness. In this Abstract painting, the artist nudges us to find beauty in contradiction, grace in grit, and connect with the enlightening ambiguity of abstract expression.
