Original artwork description:

“It is said that every person is an island, but that is not true. Every person is silence, that is true, silence, each with their own silence, each with the silence that is.” (José Saramago). These words inspired me to create an ink portrait on cardboard of an ordinary person, absorbed in walking through the streets of Florence. In this drawing, I wanted to capture the intensity and depth of a man who observes the world with eyes full of stories and reflections. The realistic precision of the lines blends with an intense expression, conveying a silence dense with emotions. The energy of the face and background envelops you, bringing an atmosphere of respect and deep contemplation into your home.
