About This Work
Portraiture This graphite pencil drawing ‘Neo Deco – 07-07-25’ shows Ms Granatouroff’s portrait only. Well, a bit of her arm but I this time I wanted something different than a nude. Last drawing was fine and proved to be succesful though. However, when I am attracted to a model I want to show more aspects of her. Through this portrait I want to demonstrate how a portrait can be sensual too. The image was captured by photographer Ergy Landau by whom I was also inspired two drawings back. Obviously Assia’s hair claimed a prominent role this time as well and I felt I truely could add some value. It was only at the beginning of this drawing I saw I already drew her hair last year. Dora Maar’s interpretation converged into one of my own, becoming ‘Neo Deco – 08-10-14’. So now I finally know who this beautiful actually woman is. Effortlessly I was quite satisfied with last drawing, you know. Fabriano Ingres paper proved to be a true asset in my attempts to create ‘open forms’. Through the grainy structure of the paper I found the essentials of a good portrait. In my opinion it lies in spontaneity. Not taken up as a tool but as a result of great motivation. Becoming in love with a model does that. Hence, capturing her features became very easy, almost effortlessly. Almost as if I knew I didn’t have to elaborate her facial expression with many nifty graphite pencil tricks. Such times are the best. For this drawing I had this funny and most pleasing hunch too. Somehow I had a rudimentary feeling of a softly rendered face induced by aforementioned graininess. In contrast thereof the hair would be immensely styled with harsh lines. And so it happened!
