Traces of life 2018

"Traces of Life" is a 2018 pen and ink drawing by Alfred Freddy Krupa. The drawing depicts a close-up portrait of a man's face, rendered in meticulous detail with hatching. The artist uses a dense network of lines to create a sense of texture and depth, emphasizing the subject's wrinkles and the passage of time. The expressive gaze of the subject suggests a sense of introspection and contemplation, drawing viewers into the individual's personal story. The intimate scale of the work, measuring 21 x 15 cm, further enhances its personal and introspective nature.
