Project Description

RGB Frequency Levels

2025

Technique: felt-tip pen on tracing paper
Dimensions: 104 × 149 cm

The series of five drawings RGB Frequency Levels is based on the idea that visual structures can be constructed in a way similar to scientific image analysis (e.g. in microscopy or radiology)—that is, by decomposing an image into different spatial frequencies or layers of information. The motif derives from microscopic images of materials (steel, glass, etc.) and their 3D reconstructions. These images were broken down into various levels of structural patterns and wave interferences, and then translated into a visual medium where the primary elements are color, space, shapes, and lines.

Each drawing consists of three layers, each in one of the primary RGB colors (red, green, blue). The complementary neon red and green produce strong optical effects (glow, simultaneous contrast, color vibration), while the blue layer does not glow but functions as a shadow, giving the drawing depth.

The work explores how we perceive space and matter: through color and light illusions, as well as a flickering effect, it creates a sense of movement and levitation, as if the image were attempting to detach itself from its surface.
