Neanderthal

Neanderthal
9 x 12 inches – Water-Soluble Graphite, Watercolor, and Colored Pencil on Paper

“Neanderthal” is a striking portrait that bridges ancient humanity with modern artistic expression. Painted with a mix of water-soluble graphite, watercolor, and colored pencil, the work captures the rugged features, deep-set eyes, and fiery beard of an early human ancestor. The raw texture of the medium enhances the primal intensity of his gaze, reminding us of both the resilience and vulnerability of humankind’s origins.

This piece invites reflection on our shared lineage and the enduring spirit of survival etched into the human face. Bold, earthy tones and expressive brushwork make “Neanderthal” a powerful statement piece—equally at home in a contemporary art collection or a space that celebrates history, anthropology, or the primal roots of creativity.
