Burden of Light

Burden of Light, 2025

Original soft pastel drawing on toned cotton paper, 62.5 x 48 cm

A head bowed beneath colour and shadow.

About the work
The figure leans inward, held in a moment of pressure, thought and contained force.
Bright magenta, yellow and pale highlights break through the dark surface, giving the portrait a charged, almost physical weight.

The piece carries a sense of quiet endurance — a presence shaped by both vulnerability and strength.
