Drawing: art and means of communication!

Description
This is a drawing using a technique inspired by scratch cards. On a transparent sheet, black paint is applied on one side and white paint on the other. The black part is then scraped off and the process is repeated several times in succession to obtain gradients. This expressionist-inspired drawing is an evocation of a place of worship where the effects of depth and light intersect with the flatness of black figures.
