Upright Calm

Elegant Female Nude Ink Drawing – Upright Calm

“Upright Calm” is an elegant female nude ink drawing by Dario Moschetta, made with black ink on A4, 240g fine art paper. The artwork presents a half-length nude female figure in a frontal pose, with her arms gently crossed over her chest. The lines are confident yet subtle, capturing both the physical form and the emotional stillness of the subject.

The drawing belongs to a series of works exploring intimacy and presence through essential gestures. There is no background—just the figure and the white space surrounding her. This contrast enhances the sense of balance and inner calm that defines the composition. The minimalist approach is deliberate, allowing the viewer to focus on texture, weight, and silence.

Poise, Stillness, and Emotional Weight

What may appear simple at first glance reveals layers of meaning. The upright posture suggests strength, while the crossed arms introduce a protective, almost sacred element. The choice of black ink reinforces the timeless quality of the piece, grounding it in tradition while expressing a very personal, contemporary sensibility.

“Upright Calm” is part of an ongoing exploration of female form and emotional nuance through drawing. It is signed on the back and ships flat, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Ideal for collectors who appreciate minimal yet powerful figurative works, this elegant female nude ink drawing speaks with quiet clarity.
