Charcoal Portrait

Description

“Charcoal Portrait” presents a woman in a quiet three-quarter view, her gaze turned slightly aside. Soft shading and loose charcoal lines define her hair, features, and shoulders against a pale background. Its restrained monochrome palette brings a thoughtful note to a reading nook, studio, or gallery wall.

Duy Bui-Nguyen

I create textured paintings where ghostly faces, fragmented figures, botanical traces, and surreal landscapes emerge in moody color. Based in Spokane, I explore memory, mystery, and the strange beauty of transformation.
