Original artwork description
A face emerges from the depths of time, drawn in black lines like whispers of longing upon a page of the past. This image is more than a portrait—it is a meeting of souls: the visage of a woman rising from the weathered cover of an ancient archaeological journal, as if history itself has chosen to take on human form.
The background, speckled and scarred by the passage of years, lends the piece a sensual depth, as though one could touch the fragile memory still pulsing beneath the surface. The bold, fluid lines that form the face do not confine it to realism—they free it, transforming it into a symbol, a ghost, perhaps the breath of a dream suspended between past and present.
Everything in this composition seems still… and yet it speaks. It speaks in a forgotten language, one that art alone can summon—when the echo of time awakens the paper, and stories untold begin to stir.
Materials used:
Ink on background is the aged cover of an archaeological journal — “DACIA – Revue d’archéologie et d’histoire ancienne”, 1970.
