Submerged Gaze

Description

This monochrome portrait depicts a young person peering over rippling water, with wet strands of hair framing a freckled face. Reflections shimmer below their gaze, lending the scene a quiet, contemplative mood. Set in a warm wooden frame, it brings a thoughtful focal point to a wall or reading nook.

Artist

I create detailed pencil and charcoal drawings that explore quiet moments, deep emotions, and the interplay of light and shadow, inviting viewers to reflect on intimacy, mystery, and connection through intricate textures and thoughtful compositions.
