Ballerina

Size: 17 X 16 inches.

The artwork titled “Ballerina” is a stunning pencil and charcoal drawing that captures a dancer in a moment of exhilarating, gravity-defying movement. The drawing is a magnificent study of both the human form and the abstract expression of motion.

The central figure, a ballerina, is rendered with exquisite detail and anatomical precision, suspended mid-air in a powerful jeté or leap. Her form is radiant and focused, conveying grace, strength, and intense concentration.

Dramatically surrounding the figure is a massive, flowing swath of sheer fabric, rendered in deep black and smoky gray tones. This fabric acts as both a visual frame and an abstract representation of energy or emotion. The artist expertly uses the contrast between the luminous dancer and the dark, swirling material to create a powerful sense of speed and fluidity. The fabric seems to explode outward, freezing the dancer in a spectacular, weightless instant, making the piece a profound ode to the beauty and power of dance.
