Artist: Björg Helene Eggen Date: September 2020 Medium: Black ink on paper Size: 30 × 41 cm Technique: Hand-drawn with ink on paper Provenance: Original drawing from the artist’s private diary.
This is the first and only original drawing of Skull — a singular work created by hand in the artist’s personal diary. It is the source of all subsequent prints and interpretations, holding the full emotional presence, unfiltered gesture, and authenticity of the moment it was made. No reproduction can replicate its raw intensity.
Accompanied by the original poem:
You see a mask, a crafted face, a surface built with careful grace.
But deeper down, where shadows hide, lies a world no eyes can find.
So judge not by the things you see— a soul runs deeper than skin can be.
A rare glimpse beneath the surface — intimate, haunting, and true. A foundational piece for collectors of Björg Helene Eggen’s work.
