Tecnica: The portrait was created using colored pencils and markers, employing successive layers and controlled strokes to achieve smooth transitions in the skin, chromatic depth, and definition in the features. The combination of both techniques allows for a balance between precision and tonal richness, adding texture and luminosity to the overall composition.

Descrizione: The artwork presents a female portrait in profile, where the averted gaze and slightly parted lips suggest a suspended moment, charged with anticipation and sensitivity. The composition invites the viewer to observe an intimate moment, as if thought or emotion were about to surface.

Created with colored pencils and markers, the piece combines precise drawing with an expressive exploration of color. Overlapping layers allow for the subtle modeling of the skin, highlighting freckles and contours, and contrasting the delicacy of the face with the chromatic intensity of the hair and background. The use of color serves not only an aesthetic but also an emotional function, reinforcing the tension between introspection and presence.

Through a hyperrealistic language with contemporary accents, the work reflects on identity, perception, and the beauty of the unspoken.
