Ludwig van Beethoven

Drawing on kraft paper using charcoal and graphite pencils (black and white), with collage elements and a handwritten quotation by Ludwig van Beethoven; mounted on cardboard. Total size including backing: A3. 2026 The portrait of Ludwig van Beethoven is constructed through tension and density. The sharper contrasts and more forceful modeling of the face introduce a sense of resistance and internal struggle. The quotation operates as an extension of this tension, articulating music as a transmission between inner states rather than a harmonious resolution. The work frames Beethoven as a figure in confrontation—with himself, with silence, and with the limits of sound.
