Portrait of Albert Einstein
A frontal portrait emerges through translucent blue, green, and earth-toned ink washes, with the face centered against a loose field of drips and softened edges. Fluid layering on paper gives the work a spontaneous surface, while darker linear accents define the eyes, mouth, and contours. The result feels introspective and atmospheric, with a contemporary figurative presence.
