Silent Tension
| Body suspended between motion and stillness

2023, Markers on A4 paper

About the Artwork

Silent Tension is a figure drawing made from a live pose using markers on paper. Fluid yet deliberate lines suggest the body’s strength and fragility in a moment of suspension. The composition plays tension against release as line and empty space interact across the page. Beyond anatomy, it reflects the inner quiet of the model and the psychological states held within gesture.
