Fragmented Gaze

Description

This expressive portrait presents a thoughtful face through layered sepia, brown, and muted rose tones. Fine graphite lines and translucent washes reveal texture, contrast, and a sense of quiet introspection. Its intimate scale makes it a distinctive addition to a study, bedroom, or curated gallery wall.

Artist

I am a visual artist based in Florence, exploring portraiture and everyday life through graphite, ink, watercolor and translucent washes. My work moves between quiet introspection, expressive faces, lively markets, and theatrical color, inviting close looking.
