Original artwork description
A large-scale watercolor created with granulating pigments depicts the profile of a young man in a moment of inner stillness and focus. The figure seems to dissolve into color as cool blues and greys collide with warm ochres, oranges, and red accents, creating a sense of breath and pulsation.
Granulation plays a central role, forming a vibrant, textured surface where color becomes an active participant rather than merely filling the form. The work does not seek portrait likeness but conveys a state of vulnerability, tension, inner heat, and fragility. Balancing between figuration and abstraction, the image leaves space for personal interpretation and emotional resonance.
Materials used:
granulated watercolor, watercolor grafite

- Size: 42.5 x 55 x 0.1cm (unframed) / 42.5 x 55cm (actual image size)
