Selfportrait

Description of the work

Ballpoint pen and India ink on paper. A gaze that seeks not to seduce, but to reveal. This work captivates from the very first moment with the intensity of its face, sculpted from a dense graphic material where every stroke seems to bear the weight of an entire life. Here, the deep black is not an absence of light, but a space of memory. Thousands of lines intertwine to bring forth a portrait of profoundly moving humanity: a face marked by time, resilience, and experience. The hair, bathed in light, contrasts with the surrounding darkness, like a glimmer of hope at the heart of mystery. More than just a portrait, this work invites contemplation. It questions our relationship with time, identity, and the human condition. Its expression, both fragile and powerful, leaves no one indifferent and continues to linger in the viewer’s mind long after they have turned away.
