Duality Face

Description

This charcoal drawing presents a striking contrast between life and decay, splitting the face into two distinct halves. One side reveals detailed human features with expressive eyes and lips, while the other exposes a skeletal structure with textured shadows. The interplay of light and dark conveys a raw exploration of mortality and identity, making this piece a thought-provoking complement to any space.

Artist

I create detailed pencil and charcoal drawings blending realism with surreal and mechanical elements. My work explores themes of decay, resilience, and quiet strength, often featuring skulls, animals, and classic pickups that bring bold, thought-provoking energy to any space.
