Force of Nature {026 Female Portrait}
This image is a minimalist, abstract portrait of a woman in profile, facing left, rendered in dense, restless pencil strokes on a light background.
In the pale hush of forgotten parchment, she turns away—a woman woven from the restless breath of graphite. Her form emerges from a torrent of vigorous, overlapping hatching—dark graphite lines slashing with urgent energy, building volume through texture rather than contour. The strokes cascade like a veil of rain, shrouding her features in shadow while subtly revealing them.
Her neck dissolves into broader, trailing marks that flow downward, as though she is turning away or slowly vanishing into the storm of her own making—shoulders barely suggested, the rest of her body surrendered to absence.
There are no clean lines, no serene outlines—only the raw accumulation of gesture, a face both concealed and intensely felt, like a memory surfacing through wind-tossed grass or a whisper caught in turbulent air.
The portrait radiates quiet mystery and introspection: a woman hidden yet profoundly present, her essence distilled into the restless dance of mark upon mark, evoking solitude, enigma, and the fragile beauty of what remains unspoken.
Unique drawing, graphite on paper. Unframed dimensions: 14” high x 11” wide. Signed by the artist on the back, dated 2020. Frame not included.
