Stefan Bertalan — Sunflower
Stefan Bertalan

Sunflower

1979

Stefan Bertalan's "Sunflower" is a mixed media work executed in colored pencil, ink, and graphite on paper that captures the botanical subject through layered, expressive mark making. The combination of these three distinct media creates a rich surface with varying degrees of opacity and texture, allowing the artist to build dimensional form and tonal complexity. The work demonstrates a sophisticated approach to representational drawing that balances precise descriptive detail with the inherent gestural qualities of the chosen materials.
