About this artwork
In "Mirada" (The Gaze), I confront the viewer directly in an intimate, highly concentrated format. Created with compressed charcoal on Pastelmat paper, this small-scale drawing (13x18 cm) is an unflinching examination of presence through the single most powerful tool we possess: the direct gaze.
My approach is rooted in the uncompromising discipline of Tenebrism and traditional European 'Old Master' techniques. By working in such a small, focused… size, I demand the viewer to step closer, creating a deeply personal, almost inescapable interaction with the artwork. I utilize dramatic chiaroscuro to sculpt the form from the absolute blackness, condensing massive psychological weight into a limited space. Every delicate line and transition of light in this piece was crafted to capture not just a likeness, but the formidable quiet of the human spirit. The eyes are not merely observing; they are a silent, penetrating force drawing you into the dark.
