Inquire About This Piece
A dense, hand-drawn surreal portrait fills the frame, built from overlapping black-and-white forms with sharp red accents cutting through the lower half. The central figure feels part mask, part totem, part creature: stacked eyes stare out from different levels of the face, while the mouth and cheeks seem assembled from carved, mechanical pieces and patterned strips. The lines are busy and tactile, with scratchy crosshatching, repeated symbols, and small text-like marks that give the surface a restless, almost woven texture.

Around the main figure, smaller insect-like animals hover on the margins, adding a strange, watchful energy. Their simplified shapes and wide eyes make them feel like little messengers or echoes of the larger face. The red background sections create a pulse of urgency against the stark monochrome, making the central figure stand out like a living emblem.

The piece carries a strong symbolic feel, suggesting layers of identity, surveillance, and transformation. The multiple eyes hint at heightened awareness or inner conflict, while the hybrid anatomy gives the impression of something being held together by memory, ritual, or pressure. It reads like graphic art with a raw, instinctive edge—part mythology, part streetwise illustration, grounded in bold contrast and meticulous linework.
