Charcoal DRAWING by Roberto Tagliazucchi

This charcoal drawing, created with confident and sensitive strokes, features a reclining female figure. The artist uses charcoal to explore the contrast between the light shading of the skin and the more intense, darker touches that define the contour of the figure and subtle details like the hair, creating a visual effect of soft tension.

The use of vibrant orange for the hair boldly stands out against the rest of the predominantly monochromatic drawing, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject's face and adding a level of emotional and visual depth to the artwork.

The piece plays on the interaction of visibility and concealment, offering an intimate but mysterious glimpse into the human condition, a common but always captivating theme in figurative art.
