Owl

Pencil and paper

In this drawing, I wanted to capture the calmness and patience of the owl, a symbol of insight and intelligence. With the simplicity of a pencil, I explored the depth and texture created by each individual stroke, capturing the fine details and direction of the feathers and the captivating gaze of the owl’s keen and mysterious eyes. The choice of pencil offers a natural appearance that allows for depth and direction in each fine detail. Every delicate stroke and layer of shading reflects the patience and intention of the owl. Each deliberate mark in the feathers convey softness and flow, while the dark eyes contrast against the feathers to represent inner focus, strength, and determination. With this piece, I invite the viewer to look back on their own moments of quiet and clarity, and realize that the inner strength and resilience of the owl is in them, too.

To me, creativity means being able to imagine and express oneself in a unique way.
