The Mentor
This portrait is a stunning representation of the complex emotions that can arise when we form a bond with someone who was once just a distant figure in our lives.

At its core, this portrait is a celebration of the power of human connection, and the transformative impact that a single relationship can have on our lives. The use of graphite reinforces this idea, with its ability to capture the intricacies and nuances of the human form, and to convey the depth and complexity of our emotional experiences.
