Salt, which is delicious to eat but a pity to throw away, is an absolutely indispensable seasoning in the kitchen. It is precisely because of this seemingly ordinary but extraordinary property of salt that artist Dino Tomic decided to use it as a seasoning. Use it as a creative medium to draw a series of salt paintings.
Tomic put the salt into a squeeze bottle similar to a sauce, and controlled the thickness and depth of the lines by adjusting the amount and way of sprinkling the salt. Sometimes he squeezed the bottle, and sometimes spread it over a large area. Spray, sometimes slightly press the small hole on the front end and apply a few strokes, and sometimes use the skill of the wrist to create a flying style. After a while, neat lines appeared on the black floor, neatly geometric shapes, and shadow effects with gradient effects.
This "Eye of Salt" is his most proud work. After being processed in a negative film on a computer, you can clearly see all the details of the eye, including the pupil, iris, eyebrow roots and cornea reflection, making it look as realistic as a photo. Same!
For Tomic, there are certain difficulties and obstacles when he first started using salt to create, but it is also a good opportunity to expand his artistic field and skills. In the eyes of onlookers, it seems to be a very complicated and impossible task, but in fact Once you decide to do it and try it, every mistake accumulated in the process will eventually become a stepping stone to success. After successfully overcoming all difficulties, it is time to push yourself to another level of creation!
