Mesmerizing Charcoal and Acrylics Paintings by Ashvin Harrison

Ashvin Harrison is a talented Australian artist who creates a mesmerizing painting using a combination of charcoal and acrylics.

After spending his early life working in more than 30 different fields, Harrison decided to follow his childhood passion for art and never looked back. After experimenting with different ways to express himself, he developed his own style of art that relies on the contrast of black and white charcoal drawings and colorful splashes of acrylic paint.

“I focus on the positives in life through what I consider visually beautiful, emotionally engaging or cognitively stimulating,” he says about his work. “You will see the use of charcoal in all my art pieces as this dark natural substance projects a parallel from my views on existentialism. The realistic contrasts of my black and white charcoal drawing/painting express the realism of existence and what I see as structurally beautiful. Through the use of colors, I express my emotions.”
