About this work

This image shows a black-and-white drawing of a man in a suit, with his face replaced by a round pocket watch. The background looks like scribbled text, and there’s a small label at the bottom that reads *"Raza amarilla (Chinos)."* The watch face is simple, with black numbers and hands. The watch over the face is the weirdest part—it’s like time is replacing identity. The artist mixed drawing with cut-out elements, which makes it feel layered and unexpected. If this style intrigues you, look up aquatint next to see how it works.
