Contemporary Stoic Woman Study

This original artwork is executed in charcoal and pastel on black paper, combining classical figurative structure with contemporary visual elements. The sculptural head is rendered in monochrome, emphasizing form, texture, and light, while the introduction of color creates a deliberate tension between antiquity and modern culture.

The contrast between the stone-like surface and the vibrant accent transforms the figure into a modern relic — timeless in form, current in attitude. The black ground amplifies depth and highlights the material quality of the drawing, giving the work a strong presence suitable for modern interiors and private collections.

This is a one-of-a-kind original, created entirely by hand and intended as a standalone statement piece.
