Strained (2026) Original Charcoal Drawing by Piera Triolo

14.5 x 24 x 0.1" (unframed) / 14.5 x 24" (actual image size)

$800

Strained is a high contrast charcoal drawing exploring the tension between emotion and expression. Through intricate detail, dramatic shadows, and hyperrealistic textures, the piece captures the feeling of holding something inside when words are not enough.

The work reflects the invisible weight of emotions that resist explanation, the pressure of trying to maintain composure, and the vulnerability that exists beneath the surface. Every mark contributes to a sense of intensity, inviting the viewer to connect with feelings they may recognize but struggle to articulate.

Created in charcoal, Strained is part of an ongoing exploration of the unspoken emotional experiences that shape us. It invites viewers to find their own meaning in the image, offering space for reflection, recognition, and connection.

An original artwork for collectors drawn to expressive realism, psychological depth, and art that communicates beyond words.
