Artist duo Snik specializes in hand-cut stencils to study the application of light and shadows. They often depict fragile women, usually floating or falling to express the idea of ​​movement.

“This is one of the most technical works we’ve ever done. Because we painted so much freehand, it’s also one of the most unfettered works we’ve ever done. We relied less on stencils and used more shadow work. There’s a higher degree of composition and we thought more about how and where we placed her.” - Snik
