Betray And Hide (2025)Pencil drawing by Marco Paludet

• nude female figure from the chest upward, composed diagonally with one arm raised above her head. The torso is fully visible, rendered through soft graphite shading and refined transitions that define the natural contours of the body.

Her eyes are closed and her head turns slightly to the side. The lips carry a subtle pastel tone, introducing a restrained touch of color. Flowing hair expands outward and merges with intricate ornamental patterns, while expressive splashes of yellow ink and areas of blue accents interrupt the otherwise monochrome surface. These painterly gestures contrast with the precision of the drawing, creating a layered visual structure.

Beyond its physical presence, the image conveys a suspended state between exposure and retreat. The closed gaze suggests inwardness, while the open posture affirms confidence. “Betray And Hide” captures a moment where vulnerability and control coexist, presenting female beauty with clarity, strength, and measured intensity.
