Dos nu – Study from life

Dos nu – Study from life by Virginie Martin Blaise is a pencil drawing that explores the human figure seen from behind, emphasizing posture, weight distribution, and anatomical structure. The absence of facial detail shifts attention to the body’s overall balance and quiet tension.

Drawn from direct observation, this study captures the subtle variations of muscle, spine, and gesture through a restrained and expressive line. The simplicity of the medium allows the drawing to focus on essentials: proportion, rhythm, and the relationship between stillness and movement.

This work belongs to the artist’s ongoing practice of life drawing, where the human body becomes a landscape of forms and sensations. It reflects a commitment to observation as a foundation for both technical mastery and poetic interpretation.
