The Passage of Time Recorded in Pencil Drawing Portraits

In an age when we are told that beauty can only be captured in a youthful looking person, Italian Artist Antonio Finelli stands in stark contrast.  He loves the ageing skin and the way it affects all of us, as time passes.  He sees our skin a recording device of the passage of time, that filters all of the experiences we go through.  His fascination focuses on the transformation we go through, symbolised, in his latest drawings by the incomplete portions in his portraits.

  1. Beautiful drawings! But why are they incomplete? What is the meaning behind this?

    1. It's explained in more detail at the top, but the following is a brief description:

      "His (The artist's) fascination focuses on the transformation we go through, symbolised, in his latest drawings by the incomplete portions in his portraits."

      I hope this and the portion above answers your question.

      I also hope you have a wonderful Thursday. 🌿️🌺️🌿️
