Rather than pursuing a riot of colors, the focus lies on the interplay of 
light and shadow within a single hue—manifested through brushstrokes of 
varying thickness—ranging, for instance, from a deep, profound charcoal 
black to a faint, ethereal smoky gray. Through the application of extremely 
thick, impasto-like layers of lacquer, the surface of the artwork undulates 
like the face of a rock, possessing a remarkably powerful three-dimensional 
quality.
