Cubistic nude graphite pencil drawing

Last August international dancer and model Julia Gómez Avilés came over to my studio where we, together with fellow artist Julia Filement, had a wonderful live session.

Surrealist nude graphite pencil drawing

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Cleopatra – 22-12-18’ is my newest Egyptian one. Someone bathing in donkey milk could only be that very special person.

La Langue Verte – 14-12-18

Cubistic nude graphite pencil drawing

I liked the triangular position of the model’s body and put her in an Egyptian scenery, thinking of my roundism style relating to hieroglyphics and Egyptian arts in general. I always liked the intense need for styling and I consider the depictions of the human body by the old Egyptians to be one of mankind’s greatest achievements.

surrealist nude graphite pencil drawing

The third art work in my new series on Egypt. I experimented with my personal style ‘roundism’ in combination with realism and surrealism.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Roundism – 19-11-18’ is something new. I was in for a bit of fun. Perhaps caused by my previous one ‘An Archeological memory of Bettie Page – 13-11-18’.

Sans titre – 26-10-18​

A cubist graphite portrait of a woman, her face fragmented into geometric planes with dramatic shading, looking upward as intersecting shapes form an abstract, monochrome composition.

This graphite pencil drawing ‘Sans Titre – 26-10-18’ is my interpretation of the smashing facial features of Angie Dickinson.

Surrealistic Frida Kahlo nude graphite pencil drawing

I am not sure what I thought about her, except for her strong personality. I sometimes liked her paintings and then I didn’t. What I have in common with her is that we both are autodidacts and that we like(d) to go our own way in life. Somehow I always come across her once in a while and that is why I decided to draw her. I saw a lovely – rare – nude photograph and thought I’d include her in my sans titre / roundism series.
