Face Studies
Portraits drawn with twigs and Indian ink. From paper to canvas. Fleeting glances, memories, feelings — distilled into a limited series of expressive works. Ink on paper, paint on canvas.
Everyone. No one. Us.
Face Studies
For a year, sheets of paper lay on the table. A twig, soaked in ink, became a brush. No plan, no goal. It was an intuitive game — at times almost an obsessive desire for more, faster, stranger. Most attempts failed. Sometimes a face appeared.
These are not portraits of someone. They are fragments of memory, fleeting glances, lines that could belong to everyone and no one. Born in speed, drawn in silence. One face fades into another, but the stories they leave behind remain. Faces fade. Stories stay.
From this stream, ten original ink drawings have been chosen — raw, direct, fragile. Four have been translated into prints, each in a limited edition, signed and numbered. Three paintings carry the same spirit, but layered more slowly: paint and silence, line and emptiness.
And finally: four collector’s boxes. Small archives of the process. Filled with fragments, with traces of studio and handwriting. Each unique, each composed as an intimate encounter with the series.
Face Studies is not a finished story. It is a snapshot of a search. An exercise in speed, attention, and chance.
