Through the Surface (2025) Original Charcoal Drawing by Emmanuel Hølaas

16.54 x 11.69" (unframed)

$2,062.75

Through the Surface is an original charcoal drawing exploring the power of the gaze and the tension between what is visible and what remains hidden. The eye emerges from soft surrounding tones, creating an intimate encounter between the subject and the viewer.

Built through carefully controlled layers of charcoal, the work combines precise detail with areas of softness and ambiguity. It reflects my ongoing interest in identity, vulnerability and the unspoken emotions revealed through the human gaze.
