Stillness in Fold

Stillness in Fold is a quiet meditation on the beauty of the everyday, elevated through close observation and classical technique. Drawn from life using graphite and white chalk on toned paper, this study of a hanging cloth captures the subtle tension between gravity, light, and texture.

The delicate highlights and soft gradients reveal the artist’s sensitive touch and command of tonal values, allowing the drapery to emerge with sculptural clarity. Each crease and fold is an exploration of form and rhythm—timeless subjects in art history, reinterpreted here with elegance and restraint.

A perfect addition for collectors who appreciate academic drawing, minimalism, and the poetic potential of still life.

Florencia Martin is an Argentinian/Australian visual artist based in South Fremantle. She is devoted to the quiet complexity of the human form, working primarily in oil and graphite. Her practice is rooted in classical tradition, shaped by a year studying at the Seattle atelier of Juliette Aristides and ongoing online studies through New York’s Grand Central Atelier.
Guided by a reverence for light, structure, and the inner life of her subjects, her portraits look not only for likeness, but presence — a sense of stillness that invites reflection. Through disciplined technique and attentive observation, she draws from the past to speak to something enduring in the present.
