The creative magic of white pencil: creating works of art in the game of light and shadow!

“Kay Lee”, a talented artist living in Kuala Lumpur and a graduate of painting, goes for white light instead of the shadow element in painting and creates interesting images with the help of a white pencil on a black page of paper. His works deal with the dramatic interaction of light and shadow and captivate the viewer by creating images with high contrast.

Ms. Lee’s technique involves using a white pencil to highlight certain parts of the subjects, and as a result, she emphasizes depth and emotion in the painting by creating a striking visual effect. The designs of this artist often seem mysterious and thought-provoking and invite the audience to explore the subtleties of each design.

Kay Lee’s art is a testimony to the power of simplicity and the beauty of minimalism. Focusing on the essentials of light and form, he transforms ordinary subjects into extraordinary works of art. Ms. Lee’s use of black paper as a canvas, while increasing the brightness of the white pencil, makes each painting seem almost three-dimensional. This unique approach not only showcases the artist’s technical prowess, but also demonstrates his ability to convey deep emotion through minimal means. Kay Lee says this about his works:

I am very interested in mixed art; From sketching to painting in a variety of media, even digital images, I also love crisp, clean-looking forms; Because I think they have a significant visual impact. Lighting in a certain part of the image can help me achieve this. By creating many shadows in the image, the light effect makes its atmosphere calm, mysterious, deep and full of emotion and feeling.

I deliberately went for the crossover technique; Because it can create various textures. In this project, I used an oil pencil for drawing to have smooth, creamy and delicate lines. Also, I have considered strong light as the main element of the composition. In the process of drawing, I made the forms slowly and in the form of strokes and layers, and sometimes, I felt that I was using a pencil to weave light; As if I have woven my painting.
