Constructing Ella, 2022

Pencil and charcoals on paper | Unframed: 29.7 x 42 cm

‘This is a portrait of my sister Ella. I wanted to capture the beginning of a smile, both in her eyes and on her lips. The inclusion of my own hand and arm was inspired by the Dutch artist M.C.Escher. I am fascinated by hyperrealism and surrealism artworks, so I combined them both.’
