Inna

1984, ink, nib pen on paper, 57x46 cm /// Kārlis Dobrājs (1943) is one of the classics of Latvian painting. His style is characterized by the quality of the academic drawing, and the emphasis placed on the form and volume of the depicted objects. In his career, the artist has also created works in manual graphic technique and has won several art awards. Nude is one of the painting genres dominating Dobrājs' creative work. He has developed his permanent canon of representation of the female image. The nudes created by the artist are saturated with feminine sensuality, and the shape of the body is made expressive and firm. Specific character and mood are given to the image. The drawing is made in the ink technique, emphasizing the line and the interplay of black and white areas that create depth and space. /// The artist’s signature and dating are on the lower right side.
