Portrait 247B – ink portrait artwork David Lynch

Ink Portrait Artwork on Paper

This ink portrait artwork is an original contemporary drawing by Dario Moschetta,
created with black ink on A4 paper (150 g).
The portrait depicts David Lynch with a frontal gaze, focusing on psychological intensity and structural precision.

Through the use of ink, the artist builds the image using a dense network of controlled lines.
As a result, volume and depth emerge through cross-hatching rather than tonal shading.
This approach gives the portrait a strong sense of tension and presence.

Rather than pursuing photographic realism, this ink portrait artwork emphasizes rhythm, anatomy and mental character.
The face appears solid yet unstable, defined by continuous line variation and subtle distortion.
Consequently, the drawing conveys both clarity and unease.

Moreover, the ink technique reinforces a direct and uncompromising visual language.
Each mark remains visible and intentional, leaving no room for correction.
This method strengthens the connection between gesture, observation and final form.

This work belongs to Moschetta’s ongoing exploration of contemporary portrait drawing,
where ink becomes a tool of discipline and expressive restraint.
Within this research, the portrait functions as a study of identity, perception and psychological depth.

Signed by the artist, this original ink portrait artwork is a unique piece intended for collectors of contemporary drawing.
The artwork is shipped flat and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.
