Silent Monumentalism - Notes from the STUDIO

 This work is part of my ongoing exploration into Silent Monumentalism.

I am focusing on composition, space, balance, and figure placement. The figures are not telling a story — they are present in the space. The environment is constructed, not designed, and the emphasis is on structure and emptiness.

The mountain form in the background is inspired by a real image of distant walkers in a landscape. I translated that idea into an architectural setting, where the scale between human and structure becomes important.

I am learning to remove narrative and allow the work to speak through silence, space, and weight.

This is a digital study towards a larger painted work. - Pieter Lategan
