You see a single human skull drawn in dark, smudgy lines on white paper. Bravo worked in Morocco for years, and the way he builds form with soft, overlapping strokes feels like the light there—hazy and warm. The skull isn’t grim; it looks almost alive, as if it’s breathing in the paper’s glow. If you like how he makes something still feel alive, try looking up *sfumato*.
