“Shadow King “ Original Artwork

**Shadow King** is a mixed media work on panel built through a physical, subtractive process. The surface is first carved—cut, scored, and incised—so the image begins as relief and shadow rather than color. Paint is then worked into and across these channels in layered passes, catching on raised edges and settling into grooves to amplify depth and contrast. The result is a commanding presence that feels both regal and unsettling, as if a figure—or a force—has been unearthed from the panel itself. *Shadow King* invites viewers to linger at the edge of recognition, where authority emerges from what remains hidden.
