Domestika Realistic Portrait with Graphite Pencil

Diego Catalán – a painter and expert cartoonist in artistic anatomy – is passionate about realism and fantastic aesthetics and horror. From this eclectic mix and the inspiration found in classical masters, his incredible portraits emerge. Catalán carries out his works with different techniques, but it is in the graphite that he finds the most expressiveness, since it allows him to work with maximum detail, understanding the light and the structure of the human anatomy.
