Framed Ink 2 provides insight into another compositional tool that Marcos uses every day to create his amazing artwork - the energy within the working frame. In each piece of art, regardless of its format, one must consider essential factors such as the push-pull, tension-relaxation, pressure-release, balance and imbalance that happen inside the working area to support our storytelling. All of these factors apply in any aspect ratio, whether it be horizontal, vertical or square. Marcos encourages and educates us on how not to be limited by the format but to embrace and rise to the challenge of designing for each format.
