Still Here (2026) Original Charcoal Drawing by Denny Stoekenbroek

Still Here is a charcoal portrait exploring presence, resilience and quiet introspection. The figure emerges through a striking contrast of deep shadows and open white space, with the dense charcoal of the hair and clothing set against the delicate light of the face and shoulder.

The restrained profile and absence of a defined setting leave the moment deliberately open to interpretation. There is no obvious narrative, only a quiet sense of someone remaining present — composed, distant and unmistakably still here.
