About the Work
"This
portrait
of
a
man
depicted
in
Mina
Arndt’s
charcoal
drawing
is
full
of
emotion,
with
the
contrast
adding
and
amplifying
it.
The
look
in
his
eyes
make
me
feel
as
if
he
is
analysing
me
and
who
I
am.
There
are
no
colours
in
this
work,
which
I
think
helps
the
viewer
to
not
be
distracted
from
the
details
in
his
face."
