untitled (2026) Original Mixed-media Painting by Ilya Vartanian

_untitled/ presents a forward-leaning human figure suspended between recognition and dissolution. The body remains visible, yet its form breaks into red fields, pale surfaces and linear structures, creating a tension between physical presence and image instability.
The image passes through drawing, photography and the digital environment before being manually transferred onto canvas using acrylic medium. Each stage alters the image and becomes part of the next, leaving traces of the process embedded in the final surface. Acrylic functions here as part of the transfer and material construction of the work rather than as a conventional painting medium. The result is a technological palimpsest in which figuration and abstraction coexist.
The work is presented on unstretched canvas.
