In Sabina Qaja’s “Francesco,” the artist offers us a striking study of the male figure, executed with a delicate mastery of charcoal. This 50 x 99 cm drawing on Fabriano paper captures the tension and serenity of the human body in a posture that is both powerful and vulnerable. Sabina, inspired by her immersion in academic art in Paris and Florence, employs a precise technique, where each shadow and light is finely sculpted to reveal the subtle strength of the model.
The character of “Francesco” is both mysterious and introspective, his distant gaze and reserved posture invite deep reflection. The texture of the charcoal, contrasted by the addition of white, gives this work an almost sculptural dimension, where every detail of muscle and contour is subtly revealed. This representation goes beyond simple anatomical study; it embodies an exploration of the human soul, the passage of time, and the fragility of the human condition.
By purchasing “Francesco”, you introduce into your space a piece imbued with sophistication and reflection, testimony to Sabina Qaja’s artistic and philosophical journey.
