Dubovac Castle en plein-air 2015

Alfred Freddy Krupa made this ink drawing, Dubovac Castle en plein-air, with bold brushstrokes that really capture a sense of immediacy. You can feel the artist responding directly to the scene in front of them. I love how Krupa uses the ink, it’s almost like he's dancing with the brush. The ink is fluid, pooling in some areas and fading in others, creating a dynamic rhythm across the paper. Look at the way he suggests the castle—it’s not about perfect representation, but about capturing the essence of the place, the feeling of being there. Notice how the strokes vary from thick, confident lines to more delicate, almost hesitant marks that evoke the branches of the trees. It's all about the gesture, the movement of the hand. This reminds me a bit of Cy Twombly, in the way he used loose, gestural marks to convey emotion and atmosphere, blurring the line between drawing and writing. It’s a reminder that art is often less about what we see, and more about how we see it.
