Father - original stippled artwork

Father is a powerful stippled portrait capturing the quiet dignity and depth of an elderly man in profile. Composed entirely of thousands of carefully placed dots, the artwork reveals the profound emotional resonance that can emerge through patience and precision.

Every crease, fold, and contour of the man’s face is rendered with striking sensitivity. The fine network of wrinkles, the soft thinning hair, and the intense, reflective gaze offer a deeply human portrait of time, memory, and resilience. The stippling technique enhances the sense of texture and presence, giving the viewer an intimate encounter with age and lived experience.

Set against a richly textured dark background, the illuminated profile stands out with sculptural clarity, creating a dramatic interplay of shadow and light. The portrait invites contemplation—honoring a lifetime etched into the skin and carried within the eyes.
