Any Barbara - 1 Original drawing - nu 1987

Original micron drawing with white highlights, depicting a fragment of the female body, captured in an intimate and suspended gesture.
The composition creates tension between the line of the arm and the roundness of the body, underscored by a play of fine hatching and strong contrasts.
The line, deliberately spontaneous and expressive, reveals the texture of the paper and the hesitations of the gesture, giving the whole an organic and sensitive presence.
The work evokes a restrained sensuality, suggested rather than shown, situated between anatomical study and bodily emotion. Original drawing, not for reproduction.

Any Barbara is a French contemporary artist whose work focuses on the representation of the human body through drawing.
Through a direct and instinctive approach, she explores the flesh, posture, and physical presence without idealization, favoring gesture, line, and material.
The drawing is part of the classical tradition of studying the body, while at the same time detaching itself from it through a rougher, more raw and expressive style.
Any Barbara develops a deliberately pared-down body of work, in which the body becomes a territory of emotional exploration rather than a mere aesthetic subject; it is an invitation to pleasure.
Their drawings are unique pieces, handmade, with no reproduction, and intended for the art market and private collection.
She lives and works in Paris, France.
