"A Portrait Etude"

This charcoal portrait is a spontaneous study in simplicity and elegance. The subject’s captivating gaze holds an undeniable connection with the viewer, inviting a moment of introspection. Through deliberate yet minimalist strokes, I explored the balance between softness and intensity, focusing on the interplay of light and shadow to evoke emotion. As an etude, this piece reflects my fascination with creating artworks that are accessible yet profound, celebrating the beauty of understated expressions. It is a work for those who value simplicity and the quiet power of human connection.
