Title: Dead Bee Sketch 02 Technique: Drawing (charcoal Conté) Support: 270 g/m² cardboard Dimensions: 59 × 42 cm Year of completion: 2024 Edition: Unique piece Signature: Signed on the front
In Dead Bee Sketch 02, the concept of the dead bee is expanded, showing it not just as a static representation, but in its final moment of flight. This piece plays with the idea of the ephemeral and the fragile, depicting the bee as a presence that gradually disappears, as if its life were dissolving into the very fabric of the paper. The use of charcoal Conté provides a vibrant texture that allows for the exploration of the insect's anatomical details and the shadows on its wings, showcasing its vulnerability. In its instability, the work invites us to reflect on the gap between life and death, and how the small disappearances of essential species have a much greater impact on the natural balance of the world. The study of the bee, far from being merely a representation, becomes a reminder of its importance in the ecosystem and the interconnection that exists between all forms of life.
