Description
The Anatomy of Freedom
Executed in graphite on 350g Canson paper, this work is more than a portrait of a motorcycle: it is a close-up investigation into the sculptural power of the V-Twin engine.

The technical challenge was taming the graphite to do justice to such diverse surfaces. From the cylinder fins to the blinding reflections of the finishes, every detail is a play of light that simulates the cold brilliance of chrome. I chose a deliberately tight and intimate composition, eliminating everything else to transform a road icon into an object of pure contemplation.

There is no exhaust noise or heat from the metal, but the density of the chiaroscuro restores that sense of latent power and mechanical pride that every rider knows well.
A tribute to those who don’t see in a Harley just a collection of bolts, but the very symbol of individuality and the pursuit of freedom on two wheels.

The original work is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

Shipping of original artworks

Original artworks on paper are protected by light tissue paper on both sides. We aim to ship these flat whenever possible; depending on their size, they are packed and protected in rigid cardboard boxes or carefully rolled in sturdy tubes.
Artworks on canvas can be shipped flat with their wooden frame, reinforced at the corners and protected by thick cardboard on both sides. For larger dimensions (or at the customer's discretion), the canvas is removed from its stretcher bars and shipped in a heavy-duty cardboard tube to optimize both shipping costs and logistics.
