M.okkerse - Behind the Shades

Behind the Shades — m.okkerse

An expressive portrait of a man wearing sunglasses, created with soft pastel. Fiery reds, oranges and ochres contrast with cool blue accents and a deep black background.

Loose, energetic marks give the portrait a raw texture, while the tilted head and slightly parted lips suggest a moment of movement. The reflective sunglasses conceal the eyes, leaving the expression open to interpretation.
