AFGHAN GIRL
Charcoal & Mixed Media on Archival Pigment Print on Paper
100 cm w x 75 h
$2,900


​Artist’s Statement
The ‘Afghan Girl’ piece is based upon a refugee girl named Sharbat Gula who became the subject of a photographic portrait by journalist Steve McCurry.
 
“I create with a method called ‘painting with charcoal’ using fine animal hair brushes I craft myself, plus charcoal powder.  I can achieve a dramatic effect of contrasting light and shadow.  I love using these ancient techniques to create realism, drama and depth in my works. This is a mixed media piece. The coloured eyes were created using inks, coloured pencils and charcoal.
