Shame On You (2019)Pencil drawing by Marco Paludet

• A woman turns her head slightly, her gaze drifting away while her hand rests near her neck in a restrained, protective gesture. Floral forms appear across her body and in her hair, drawn and painted as markings rather than ornaments, suggesting fragility and quiet resistance.

The figure is rendered in graphite and pen with controlled realism, while translucent acrylic washes introduce soft disruptions of color across the surface. These interventions shift the image away from pure representation, adding an emotional undertone that feels intimate and unresolved.

“Shame On You” reflects on vulnerability and self-awareness, presenting the body as a place where beauty and discomfort coexist. A contemporary figurative work that invites closeness without offering easy answers.
