“Solitude” is a study in restraint and inward focus. Created with charcoal and graphite on an acrylic-washed surface of 100% cotton archival paper, the work combines charcoal and acrylic paint to build depth through layered texture and soft tonal contrast. The closed posture of this composition, along with the drapery falling from her body reinforces a sense of protection and containment. Her gaze turns away from the viewer, directing attention inward and emphasising the figure’s separation from the surrounding space. Through the interplay of charcoal, graphite, and the visible acrylic wash beneath, the composition balances softness and structure, highlighting both the fragility and strength within the pose. This artwork is 100 x 142cm Charcoal and graphite on acrylic-washed 100% cotton archival paper This artwork is one of one.
