VIDEO Making of – Symphony No.6 – 2024

2024 | Charcoal and Soft pastel on primed wood | 70 cm x 80 cm

“I used charcoal on wood and not on paper. This is the first time I’m experimenting with charcoal material on this surface. The wood is non-porous, making it extremely challenging for charcoal particles to adhere to it. This wouldn’t be possible without the material I use to prepare the surface. I remained in a state of tension and attraction with the surface of the painting until I achieved this final result. Will I repeat this material on this surface? The answer is yes, but only in areas that do not exceed 70 cm per side.” – Ali Hassaan
