VISION & STYLE

“Portrait for Misha Dubiaha”, 100 cm x 70 cm, Charcoal on Guarro Basik paper, 370 gr

 

“My work in charcoal is connected to my vision and style as a fashion photographer. It is the continuity of that line that allows me to exploit and merge both facets and that helps me to see things in a different way.

I love working with Nitram Charcoal. The quality is superior to any conventional charcoal. Its strength allows me to put in a lot of details and strokes in my work. I love the range of hardness from H to B+. The grayscale offered by Nitram is infinite. Before starting to work with the charcoal sticks, I like to first stain the paper surface with Nitram Powdered Charcoal; I use a sponge and brush. And to finish, I love to play with textures and even use solvents such as acetone in my work.

In portraits, I try to enhance the gaze by conveying strength and evoke emotions in the beholder so that they can immerse themselves into the work. I leave lines and brushstrokes visible to give the work a greater power of immersion. Art is our most powerful weapon with which we can create a better world for everyone.”
