Worship (2023) Original Pastel Drawing by Rumen Sazdov

this pastel drawing is a surrealistic figurative composition that explores the theme of protection, surrender, and intimate connection. The main element is a detailed depiction of a nude female body in a half-sitting position. The figure is seated inside a huge open hand that surrounds her like a protective nest or throne.
The woman’s head is tilted back and her left hand rests on her temples, her face completely obscured by a flood of rich, fiery red curly hair. This element strips the figure of any specific identity and shifts the focus to physicality and the experience of safety and vulnerability at the same time.
