Self-Portrait of the artist

Description:

This self-portrait is a quiet conversation between the artist and himself. The face seems to emerge from a fog of charcoal lines, not striving for outward showiness, but immersed in a state of inner concentration. The gaze is directed inward, fleeting and elusive, like a thought that has not yet found words.

This work was created without fixative to preserve the purity of color and the vibrancy of the pastel layers. Mounting under glass is recommended.
