A chiaroscurist is an artist who specializes in the use of chiaroscuro, an artistic technique that uses strong contrasts of light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth in a composition.

Chiasm is a literary term that refers to a rhetorical device in which two phrases or clauses are structured in a reverse order, often for emphasis or effect. In a chiasm, the second phrase or clause is a reversal of the first, creating a sense of balance and symmetry. This device is often used in poetry, sermons, and other forms of writing to add depth, complexity, and emotional resonance to the text. Examples of chiasm can be seen in the Bible, particularly in the Psalms and the book of Isaiah.
