Description:

"Between the click and the shot lies the abyss of choice."

Russian Roulette is a composition that evokes risk, tension, and fate in a single visual gesture. With technical precision, the artist recreates the detail of a classic firearm, exploring the nuances of metal, shadow, and the silent anticipation that hangs in the moment before the inevitable.

The technique of pointillism and hatching on paper transforms the object into a symbol. It is not merely a weapon — it is the weight of uncertainty, of choice, of ruin or chance. The meticulous details capture both the coldness of the metallic structure and the psychological force of the frozen instant.

This is a raw, symbolic, and deeply impactful piece. Ideal for contemporary or conceptual spaces, or for collectors who appreciate provocative visual discourse and aesthetic tension.
