The Role of Texture in Modern Art

Texture is more than a surface quality—it's a vital element that adds depth, emotion, and dimension to modern art. By manipulating materials and techniques, artists create tactile experiences that invite viewers to engage with art on a sensory level.

From the rough impasto of oil paintings to the smooth, polished surfaces of sculptures, texture shapes how we perceive and interpret art. In my own practice, I experiment with layering, scraping, and blending to evoke cultural narratives and emotional resonance. Whether through mixed media or traditional forms, texture transforms the viewer's experience.
