Veiled Presence (2017)Drawing
by Daria Yablon-Soloviova

his striking A3 portrait masters the art of suggestion. A young woman faces the viewer, yet her essence is revealed through absence and light. Executed solely in white oil pastel and pencil on deep black paper, the image is built from expressive, energetic strokes that carve form from darkness.

The eyes remain a mystery, veiled in shadow, directing focus to the delicate silhouette of her nose and the soft, sensual curve of her lips. This is a study in chiaroscuro and introspection—a portrait not of features, but of a vivid, unseen inner world that resonates from the page.
