This self-portrait was drawn in charcoal using classical realist technique — the same discipline practised by the Old Masters who believed that to paint others truthfully, you must first learn to see yourself without flattery or illusion.
The gaze is direct. Unflinching. Emerging from darkness with the kind of quiet intensity that takes years of practice to capture and a lifetime of self-examination to earn.
To own a self-portrait is to own a piece of the artist at a specific moment in time — before the work that came after, before the name grew larger. These are the pieces that become significant.
Charcoal on paper. 30 x 40 cm. Original, one only. Framed and ready to hang.
