The portrait composition “Lorena” from 2018 is a refined and expressive drawing by contemporary artist Laura Lassa. The work combines chalk and charcoal on handmade mulberry paper, whose natural texture gives the artwork a distinctive depth and material character. The central motif is a stylized female portrait wearing a wide hat that partially covers the face, creating a sense of mystery and elegance. The restrained color palette of greys, blacks and the natural tone of the paper highlights the expressive drawing lines and the subtle expression of the face. The artist contrasts the textured surface of the paper with the soft charcoal strokes, producing a visually compelling effect. The figure appears calm and introspective while the shadows cast by the hat add depth and drama to the composition. The work demonstrates the artist’s sensitivity to figurative drawing and material exploration. Mulberry paper is a traditional handmade material known for its durability and rich texture. Its combination with charcoal and chalk enhances the artistic character of the piece. The artwork comes directly from the artist and is accompanied by an artist’s certificate. The work is framed and in excellent condition.
