The Thinker 2

My Thinker 3
Bent in fire, the mind takes shape,
A forge of thought in form and drape.
From shadowed hands to brow unknown,
He carves his silence into stone.

This mixed media on paper work reinterprets Rodin’s iconic figure through an abstracted, gestural lens, using bold foreground distortion and saturated hues to heighten emotional intensity. Layers of scraped pigment and dynamic strokes evoke both sculptural mass and painterly energy, positioning the piece within the realm of expressionist figuration. It’s a study in contemplation, tension, and presence — rendered through colour and structure rather than exact anatomy.
