Portrait of Woman with a Smile

Woman with a Smile

Graphite pencil on paper, 2025

13 × 11 inches

A portrait of a woman turning toward the viewer, her expression defined by an expansive, almost exaggerated smile. The composition is intimate and direct, with the figure emerging from a darkened ground into light. Her gaze and expression carry a dual quality, inviting and radiant, yet slightly unsettling in their intensity.

The graphite work emphasizes contrast, moving between deep, velvety blacks and softly modeled transitions across the face and body. The surface remains active with visible mark-making, reinforcing a sense of immediacy and presence.
