Welcome to Dorian's Surreal ScratchArt Painting
Take a journey through my surreal world and encounter some of my recent
and older scratchboard paintings.
All paintings are original for sale.
“My artwork consists of scratching away layers of colored ink that I previously apply on a white claybord
or scratchboard (a special board coated with a thin layer of white China clay or Kaolin). By using sharp knives, a fiber glass brush, steel wool, and other tools I create highly detailed images. Depending on
the pressure exerted on the tool used, it determines the amount of light or color that is revealed, creating highlights, shadows, and excellent contrast. I have been experimenting with this medium for eight years, always challenging myself and bringing this medium "scratchboard", to a totally new level. I always feel inspired and transported into an infinite surreal world full of bright colors, deep contrast, fantasy images, and miniature figures awaiting to be revealed. In other words, it gives me a way of freedom and spiritual connection with my inner self.”
