Giclée A4 print - Contemplation

This black and white ink and watercolour drawing depicts a man with a turban and a cigarette in his mouth. The portrait has a striking contrast, with bold black lines defining the contours of the man's face, turban, and clothing.

The use of watercolour adds depth and texture to the image by increasingly strong washes from grey to black adding a sense of dimensionality to the man's skin and beard. The man's facial features are carefully rendered, conveying a sense of character and wisdom. The turban is detailed with texture, further enhancing the image's richness and complexity. The man's cigarette adds a touch of rebelliousness and nonchalance to the portrait, suggesting a life lived on his own terms. The original portrait for inspiration was by Swapnil Dwivedi.
