KHYA: MONOCHROMATIC ART Khya from Belgium is a 30 year old graphic designer who is trying hard to become a jewelry designer. But it is not just her fine, hand crafted jewelry made of moonstone, pearls, and silver that catches my eye, but her theme of monochromatic art in her two-dimensional works. Monochromatic means having one color or hue. Monochromatic works of art are limited to a palette of light and dark shades of one single color.In this piece, which is currently untitled, Khya uses a red monochromatic background which eventually spreads it way up to the figure in the foreground. The use of the monochrome style in the background allows the foreground element to pop out more, while still having some sort of movement in the background.
This piece is very interesting to look at because of only a few colors are being used in this piece. If it were colored to look realistic, it would not give off the same mood and meaning. What colors you use in a piece, whether it be, analogous, triadic, or complimentary plays a big role on how you and viewers interpret a piece of work.
