The Observer, 2018

The Observer is an original figurative portrait drawing built around an uncompromising frontal composition. The sitter’s expression gives the work its character, while economical pencil marks define the face, hair and clothing without unnecessary detail.

Executed in pencil on paper, the portrait combines fine linear drawing with restrained hatching and tonal modelling. Areas of greater definition are balanced by lighter, open passages, retaining the immediacy and sensitivity of the original drawing.

An original, one of a kind work by academic artist Nikola, signed and dated 2018. A distinctive piece of contemporary figurative portraiture for private collections, modern interiors and curated art spaces.
