Description of the work:

"No makeup face"

I let my bangs fall and fill the wounds in my heart, I put on red lipstick and talk about happiness, I wear strong eyeliner and talk about love, and I put blush on my cheeks and say, ``You don't like lies, do you?''
This is my last first love

I used charcoal, pastel, and acrylic paint. Finally, I printed it on B2 thick, high-quality matte paper. I used a durable protective film for the color and material. I kept digital processing to a minimum to preserve the traces of the drawing I wanted to express.
The subject of my expression is not superficial colors, shapes, or motifs, but rather "stillness and movement" as proof of life that lies within, and I hope that you will be able to sense a little of this "proof of life" here.
There is a sense of kindness and strength that should be grasped as proof of life, but I also hope that it will inspire thoughts in those who watch it.
We hope you will pick it up and enjoy it in your own way.

*We have not framed it intentionally. We recommend hanging it on the wall or placing it on the floor, but we hope you will choose a frame that suits the image of your room.
*Duplicates are possible as they are digitally output, but due to their rarity, we are limited to three copies.
