About this work

This drawing shows a person balancing on a tightrope. The person is drawn in blue ballpoint pen on a beige paper background. They are bent at the knees, with arms outstretched for balance. The tightrope is drawn as a thin line across the top of the page. The person's body language conveys a sense of tension and focus. The simplicity of the drawing, with minimal details and a limited color palette, adds to the sense of concentration and determination. If you like this piece, you might also enjoy the work of artist Erwin Wurm.
