Violet Profile
A side-profile portrait of Nina Simon emerges from deep black passages and layered violet-gray washes, with the face modeled in pale translucent tones. The watercolor on paper moves between soft blending and sharper linear accents, allowing drips and overlapping facets to remain visible. The result is introspective and dramatic, with a strong graphic presence despite the delicacy of the medium.
