About the work
Original Fox Portrait with Charcoal
Original Fox Portrait is an evocative charcoal and mixed-media drawing that merges animal symbolism with introspective self-reflection. A striking fox stands at the forefront, its body turned mid-motion, as if reacting to something unseen. Rendered in rich reddish-brown tones with accents of white and gray, the fox's detailed fur texture and intense black eyes capture a moment filled with quiet alertness and emotional depth.
The fox, long a symbol of adaptability and intelligence, mirrors the artistβs own spirit β watchful, agile, and attuned to the environment. Its tail flows with a dynamic grace, while its perked ears and gentle posture suggest both vulnerability and strength.
To the right, a textured tree trunk offers grounding to the composition, while soft strokes of pale orange and gray in the background evoke early morning light or dusk β a liminal time reflecting transformation and awareness.
"Autoportrait" is not just a study of a fox β it's a portrait of inner life, of instinct and identity, captured in soft charcoal on raw cardboard. A deeply personal and symbolic piece.
