For several years, the human figure has been a central focus of my work. Each drawing begins with an exploratory contour, laying the foundation for the figure’s form. Working on a flat surface, I apply watercolor in a wet-on-wet technique, allowing the paint to pool and mix, creating dynamic light, medium, and dark areas. Once dry, the paper reveals a marbled effect, where color and tone are frozen in time, adding depth and texture to the piece. The human form naturally aligns with my organic aesthetic, and I often accentuate, elongate, and alter the shapes to highlight the model’s weight and body mass. These drawings are always done in black ink, which means every line created is a committed choice, forming a necessary part of the process and the artwork’s record. I’ve continued with this approach because I’m curious how far I can take it—how much further I can push my boundaries of form and technique.
