Superfluous To Requirements (2025)Pencil drawing by Marco Paludet

• A female portrait executed primarily in pencil, with subtle additions of acrylic and ink. The figure emerges from a soft, muted background, her features defined through fine graphite lines and areas of intentional incompleteness. Delicate flowers placed in her hair introduce a natural decorative element, while gentle accents of pink and pale yellow acrylic add light, balance and visual contrast.

The artwork conveys a sense of quiet femininity and refined beauty. Rather than idealised or overtly expressive, the portrait remains delicate and understated, with elegance emerging through simplicity, softness and controlled restraint. The limited colour palette and the open, unfinished areas create an intimate and contemporary approach to figurative drawing, where beauty is suggested with subtlety and grace.
