Ink & Charcoal on OSB Board
16" × 24" (41 × 61 cm)
Framed
Portrait Study II continues Gonzalo Pizarro’s exploration of fragmented portraiture at an intimate scale, where the surface of OSB becomes an active part of the image. Ink and charcoal move across the natural grain, allowing the figure to emerge through a more fluid and shifting composition.
Here, the portrait feels less fixed, as if caught mid-motion, with features appearing and dissolving across the layered surface. The result is a work that leans further into movement, where the image is never fully held in place.
Available as part of a series of three portrait studies. Inquiries for multiple works are welcomed.
Gonzalo Pizarro is a visual artist with a background in architecture. His work is rooted in the use of unique materials, especially those that are raw, industrial, or overlooked. The artist became widely recognized after he posted a video of his work on OSB board that achieved over 14 million views.
Art critics and enthusiast became astonished at the new approach using the compressed wooden board. Pizarro was drawn to creating works on OSB due to the unpredictability and chaos found within the wood.
"That’s where Fragments of Identity begin, with a material that reflects how we’re often shaped by what we can’t fully control. Working with OSB is a negotiation: some fragments support the process, others resist. And that mirrors life, how we build meaning from limitations, from contradictions."
