TRANSPARENCY exquisite original charcoal and acrylic painting xo

Some artworks ask to be viewed.

Some artworks ask us to look a little deeper.

Transparency explores the contrast between what we reveal and what we choose to hide. The hands partially conceal the face while the eyes remain visible, inviting the viewer to consider perception, vulnerability and the many layers that exist beneath first impressions.

Executed in charcoal and acrylic, this striking monochrome work creates an immediate connection while remaining open to personal interpretation.

A powerful statement piece designed to spark conversation and reflection.

PETE + CHRISSY — ARTIST BIO

We are pete + chrissy, contemporary Australian artists creating original abstract works inspired by the movement, energy and natural rhythms of the coastline and earth.
Our work is known for its luminous quality — layers of colour, light and subtle texture interact to create pieces that shift and evolve throughout the day. Collectors often describe our paintings as opalescent and alive in different lighting.

Using our signature “scientartist” approach, we develop and refine our own paint combinations to create depth, cellular detail and organic flow that cannot be replicated. Each piece is the result of both experimentation and control — where art and process meet.

A NOTE ON OUR WORK
¬ Original, one-of-a-kind paintings
¬ Most are designed to work in both horizontal and vertical orientations
¬ Each piece carries our ‘angelheart’ signature, a small mark representing the connection between artist, artwork and collector
¬ Created in our private studio
