The Feeling
A human presence suspended between memory and erosion. Built through layers of charcoal and ink, the work explores emotional residue, inner collapse, and the fragile tension between disappearance and remaining. Forms dissolve into darkness and stains like the fading trace of a presence — as though something is breathing between appearing and vanishing. Charcoal and ink on cardboard.
Veiled Echo
In the depths of silence where light merges with shadow — a dark and atmospheric portrait of a face in suspension. Focus on deep shading and the heavy texture of skin and hair. Physical painting with charcoal and ink.
Forbearance
There was no flailing. I grasped a heart in the throes of crumbling. How peculiar it is that in the midst of disintegration we cling to what is also disintegrating… Physical painting with charcoal and ink.
In My Own Ruin
In my own ruin I have quietly folded into myself. Hands search through me, yet they are not separate from me. It is I who gets lost within my own layers. And what remains is a body that simply continues… Physical painting.
A Remnant of Time
It no longer has a face, only a clock resting upon its worn body, beating in silence. Time, little by little, has settled into its shoulders, and within the stillness of its sitting has grown old. A figure bent beneath the weight of time. And what sits before us is nothing less than a remnant of time.
Coexistence
Bodies entwined, cascading over one another, yet patiently striving to hold each other fast. In this coexistence they have realized that sometimes meaning is found not in escape but in this very endurance — in staying together. Charcoal and pencil painting.
Embrace
In the depths of profound darkness, a blurred and fragile face dissolves amid raining graphite lines. Half-open hands reach out as though seeking an invisible embrace. Layers of gray and black are deliberately broken with an eraser, crying out the silent weeping and breathtaking loneliness. An artwork created entirely with pencil and eraser — full of silence and longing…
About
I am Artnegar. I work with charcoal, ink, pencil and eraser materials that hold memory and lose it at the same time. My figures are rarely whole: faces dissolve into stains, bodies fold into their own ruin, hands reach for an embrace that may not exist. Each work lives in the fragile space between presence and disappearance.
These are physical paintings built in layers, broken with erasers, marked by time. What remains on the paper is what survived
