Portrait-Commission I

Medium: Bronze
Dimensions: 9.1 × 15.7 in
A portrait bust is modeled through substantial forms that emphasize the structure of the head and face. The features emerge gradually through carefully controlled transitions between planes, avoiding excessive surface detail. Variations in the bronze patina introduce subtle tonal shifts across the sculpture. The work maintains a strong balance between likeness and sculptural solidity.
