Contemplative Gaze

Description

This pencil sketch presents a reflective portrait of an elderly man wearing glasses. The careful shading conveys a sense of quiet contemplation, while soft lines suggest a gentle, introspective mood. Dated subtly in the corner, the drawing carries a personal and timeless quality that would enhance an intimate space.

Artist

I create charcoal and pencil drawings that explore quiet intensity and raw emotion through contemplative figures, haunting portraits, and textured still lifes. My work reveals the beauty in unfinished edges and invites reflection on depth and form.
