Untitled (February 2017)

A female nude figure is captured from behind using overlapping gestural marks in charcoal and red conte crayon, with the lower torso and buttocks rendered in dense, shaded strokes that give the form solidity while the head, shoulders, and limbs dissolve into spiraling, energetic lines. The dual-media technique follows a classical academic tradition—sanguine establishing rhythm, charcoal building mass—executed with confident speed that prioritizes kinetic vitality over finish.
