"I've decided to only use my left hand to paint this work - this pushed me to explore new ways of painting while at the same time keeping the painting fresh and emotionally connected to my subconscious." said Dominic Virtosu.
This work represents the beginning of a new direction in the artists' interests for painting: figuring out how to integrate more of the subconscious and intuitive mind into his body of work as a whole.
