Personal Illustrations 1 2014

"Personal Illustrations 1" (2014) by Robert Sammelin is a striking illustration depicting a lone, mysterious figure against a stark pink background. The figure is rendered in a detailed, almost graphic style, with sharp lines and bold contrasts. They are heavily armed, their attire hinting at a dangerous and perhaps nomadic lifestyle. The flowing fabric of their head covering suggests movement and action, creating a sense of both strength and vulnerability in this captivating image. The work is a testament to Sammelin's skill in capturing emotion and narrative within a single composition.
