Forms of Light and Shadow acrylic on Fabriano

Soltero’s art making process, and the structured composition of his works, is heavily inspired by his background in graphic design. The artist creates a draft layout for his final compositions: a calculated arrangement of printed and hand-drawn abstract letterforms, which are digitised and reconfigured. The completed image is re-printed, hand traced, and stencilled before rich blacks and metallic paints are applied.
