This large-format original drawing offers an intimate, hyperrealistic close-up of a human eye, rendered with painstaking precision in graphite and charcoal pencil. Every eyelash, reflection, and subtle tear was carefully studied and recreated by hand, resulting in a piece that feels almost photographic in its detail, yet entirely handmade.
Requiring 35 hours to complete, this piece explores themes of vulnerability, perception, and human emotion through a single, powerful focal point. Its large scale and dramatic contrast make it a commanding statement piece.
The original is drawn on paper using graphite pencils ranging from 2H to 13B. The surface shows the hand — the individual marks that build form through accumulated patience.
