Pinky

from $67.00

Ink on Paper

The original drawing is 7×10 inches (unframed) and is signed and dated by the artist.

Pinky is an intimate pen and ink portrait of my daughter, captured in a moment of stillness and deep thought. Set in three-quarter view with her chin resting lightly against her hand, she gazes into the distance with a calm confidence. Her expression is intelligent, reflective, and quietly powerful—inviting the viewer to wonder what occupies her mind just beyond the frame.

The monochrome contrasts of ink give the work a striking graphic presence, while the streaks of vivid pink in her hair introduce a bold emotional accent. Intricate textures in her hair, skin, and sweater reveal the tactile, meditative qualities of pen and ink drawing, while the blank face of the watch on her wrist subtly hints at timelessness—thought so deep that time itself falls away.

Around her, ink droplets scatter in expressive bursts—some as dark splashes, others as a fine mist—evoking the noise and chaos of an active world. Yet her face remains untouched, calm and centered, becoming the still point amid surrounding motion. The result is a portrait that feels both personal and universal, balancing detail, emotion, and quiet strength.

Styles: Contemporary Portraiture, Modern Realism, Ink Splatter/Textural Art
