The painter proves that shadow has the power to give a certain form. This type of painting has its own constraints. As the material of the objects used itself affect the quality of the shadow in terms of sharpness and opacity. In addition to the orientation of the object and the distance from the light source. Surely, the light source used has an impact on the painting too in terms of brightness.

The painter has the ability to create a meaningful shadow painting formed of an abstract composition of everyday objects. When you look at the composition of the objects you don’t see the painting but when you look at the shadow… you see the painting has arrived. It is the hidden perspective.
