This figure radiates inner strength and restrained tension. The gaze is fixed and piercing, yet not aggressive — as if the moment captured comes just before something important is about to be said. The face is symmetrical, but not calm; it expresses inner unrest, concentration, or emotional distance.

The elongated neck and strongly shaded key areas of the body (the suprasternal notch and shoulders) create tension and elegant intensity. The hairstyle and dark background further frame the face, drawing all attention to the eyes and mouth — the places where expression is most alive.
"Series of graphite portraits on canvas exploring the tension between emotional intensity and external restraint, rendered in an expressive, semi-realistic style that blurs the line between figuration and psychological abstraction."

I am a visual artist originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina, currently living and working in Frankfurt, Germany. My work centers around expressive portraiture, drawn in graphite on canvas — a medium I choose for its raw texture and the depth it allows in shading.

I am not interested in classical proportion or photorealism. Instead, I aim to capture emotional tension, inner strength, and the subtle presence of silence. The faces I draw are meant to hold your gaze, not just with beauty, but with something unspoken — a moment before something is revealed, or a feeling held just beneath the surface.

I use the eyes, mouth, and posture to explore a wide spectrum of emotions. I prefer instinct over precision, and distortion over perfection — because for me, truth in art comes from feeling, not appearance.

I’m currently working on a series of portraits that reflect different emotional states. My goal is to present these works in physical exhibitions, because I believe in the presence of art — its texture, scale, and the quiet dialogue it creates when experienced in person.
