La Joya - 2020 - 316mm x 200mm

La Joya, The nickname given to the footballer, Paulo Dybala, La Joya, meaning the Jewel. I have supported Juventus for over two decades, and I always been meaning to produce an art piece based on the team and one of my favourite players.

Dybala plays with elegance, finesse and guile. He always has a playful, rhythmic and slick movement and approach. Speed and a high skill set plus with a special gifted technique. He has a golden left foot, and produces moments and goals of pure beauty and high class. He is one of the gems and stars in the football world and has always been a pleasure to watch.

This piece is produced with pencil, various tones, weights and rendering techniques are applied, also a small use of a 0.2 grey pen was applied for pointillism use on stadium. This piece required patience and high levels of concentration, through many sessions I was able to complete this drawing and it has a striking finish.
