Inner Interlocutor

About the work

Dark rims around the eyes stand out against the largely open sheet. Short angular marks indicate the nose and mouth; lines of the hands approach the head from below. The contrast between solid black areas and fine contour keeps attention on the face.

The arrangement of head and hands gives the figure a concentrated quality. The title allows the pose to be read as an inward dialogue without imposing a specific narrative. Its foundation is the expressive balance of a few carefully placed accents.
