ONE-LINE PORTRAITS BY SALVENTIUS

Niels Kiené, also known as Salventius, is a Dutch artist who creates one-line portraits characterized by a striking consciousness of the drawing gesture: one single line joins emotions, eyebrows, societies, and personalities in a neverending vibrating creative effort. No guidelines, no sketches, just a direct and incredible quick connection between mind and paper, emotions and hand: he calls it momentalism.

His Instagram account ↗︎ features dozens (if not hundreds) of timelapses and videos showing his artistic process, unfiltered and uncut: we can witness the raw simplicity and continuous flow characterizing his production, while intriguing captions give a glimpse of his creative thoughts and technique.

Most of his artworks on Canvas are painted with the MOLOTOW DRIPSTICK Markers in different sizes. Here are two beautiful pieces done with the DRIPSTICK and MOLOTOW Permanent Paint Gold! Check out more on his Instagram!
