“Hidden in Shadows” emphasizes the contrast between the finished and the unfinished. It is inspired by the work of Leonardo Da Vinci, who created portraits with extreme detail in the face and fewer details in the periphery. I showcase significant features in the bust of the model, but as I move away from the center, I use less extensive and less refined line work. The combination of detail and the lack thereof signify the contrast between the finished and unfinished that I have come to appreciate.
