Hi all, I'm Katrina Kessler and I'm here to dump some art that I find beautiful onto you! Once again, I have felt compelled to share portraits of human figures again. It's what I'm happiest with drawing, so naturally I feel happiest looking at art of it too. I love the way that these are drawn solely with black and white and with a messy feel. Even though the lines are a little wild, the artists still always manages to get the detailed emotion and realism across. The artist used chalk and charcoal to get the high contrast, putting them on tinted backgrounds to make the highlights stand out.

  1. These are all incredible. Like you said, I love how it seems very rough and sketchy, yet there is still incredible details in the subject's faces.

  6. The simplicity of the color schemes and even the medium used to create this phenomenal piece is truly astonishing. Just reminds me that you don't have to go over the top to create something beautiful.

  7. The negative space used really brings the images to life. It's interesting how so much emotion can be portrayed with simple sketches, but with harsh detail.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Malena Bozzini         Malena Bozzini is a sophomore college student studying psychology. As her passion she is an artist. Her work is so original and abstract in order to dramatize her figures. She creates art out of emotion and uses her feelings to choose color and shape. One of the most interesting facts is that all of her pieces are done with colored pencils. Her art is so expressive that each piece gives out its own vibe. What makes her art unique is that it is inspired by motion and gestures. It is amazing how she developed such a style at such a young age.  Instagram @ malenabozzini
