“Loneliness”
Original Mixed Media on Paper
Matted to 5x7 | Framed to 8x10 inches
“Like strong black coffee, your strange name stains and pains my teeth…Your name? Loneliness.” — Khalid Aldiyktatur
This small but searing portrait captures the weight of emotional abandonment and the bitter intimacy of solitude. Rendered in raw oil pastel and framed with intention, “Loneliness” is a poetic punch in a compact frame. The face—haunted, stained, and stitched with color—feels both personal and anonymous, like grief left on a kitchen table.
The poem spills across the mat, surrounding the figure like a whispered confession. Honest, slightly unhinged, and utterly human. Every line bleeds with visceral contrast: a strange name, a pregnant ant, black coffee.
This piece is part drawing, part poem, part spell.
One-of-a-kind. Meant to haunt.
This is not a portrait of a person. It is a portrait of what’s left behind.
Signed. Framed. Never to be made again.
