"A self-portrait exploring quiet contemplation and introspection. Dramatic lighting from above carves out form, while deep shadows add mystery.
The background, alive with loose, expressive marks, contrasts with the structured rendering of the face, capturing emotion rather than place.
Balancing realism and abstraction, this piece goes beyond likeness, reflecting an internal state and the ongoing tension between structure and freedom."
