“Wait, is it a photograph or an actual draw<strong>in</strong>g?” That is <strong>the</strong> question I hope those<br />
who watch my artwork for <strong>the</strong> first time ask <strong>the</strong>mselves,” says Victor.<br />
Víctor Mabet is a Spanish self-taught<br />
hyper-realistic artist. He started<br />
draw<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> 2019. His portraits are done<br />
with graphite and charcoal on paper.<br />
“Wait, is it a photograph or an actual draw<strong>in</strong>g?”<br />
that is <strong>the</strong> question I hope those who watch<br />
my artwork for <strong>the</strong> first time ask <strong>the</strong>mselves,”<br />
says Victor.<br />
Victor always pursued to convey onto paper<br />
what a camera would capture.<br />
“It’s m<strong>in</strong>d-blow<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> results you can achieve<br />
by simply creat<strong>in</strong>g some patches with charcoal<br />
and add<strong>in</strong>g details with pencils,” says Victor.<br />
Victor’s passion for draw<strong>in</strong>g has accompanied<br />
him s<strong>in</strong>ce he was a child. It was not until 2019<br />
that Victor’s <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> draw<strong>in</strong>g portraits arose.<br />
“At present, I’m seek<strong>in</strong>g to f<strong>in</strong>e-tune my<br />
technique,” says Victor.<br />
The key element <strong>in</strong> his artworks is gett<strong>in</strong>g<br />
a gaze that connects with and transmits to<br />
<strong>the</strong> beholder without giv<strong>in</strong>g up on blurs and<br />
textures, which all <strong>in</strong> all brea<strong>the</strong> life <strong>in</strong>to a portrait.<br />
His technique is about creat<strong>in</strong>g base layers<br />
with charcoal powder and us<strong>in</strong>g graphite pencils<br />
“It’s m<strong>in</strong>d-blow<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />
results you can achieve<br />
by simply creat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
some patches with<br />
charcoal and add<strong>in</strong>g<br />
details with pencils,”<br />
says Victor.<br />
just for detail<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> most remarkable areas. By<br />
do<strong>in</strong>g so, it is up to <strong>the</strong> artist to determ<strong>in</strong>e which<br />
parts of <strong>the</strong> portrait will play a stronger role.<br />
Life is full of contrasts, so what about captur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
just those <strong>in</strong> black and white?<br />
