Bohan Giclee Print Signed
Bohan (Giclée Print)
Charcoal and HB pencil on handmade Indian paper (original)
Limited Edition Giclée Print on archival paper
Bohan is a visual meditation on ascension, gratitude, and the weight of legacy. The figure at the center—a man rendered in shadow and smudged texture—embodies a spiritual journey toward godhood. Not a god by divine right, but one forged through labor, wisdom, and moral resilience.
Drawn originally on handmade Indian paper using charcoal and HB pencil, the medium reflects the raw and intentional fragility of the human experience. Each mark, deliberate and weathered, speaks to the tension between power and humility. The character has gained everything a man might desire—status, wisdom, perhaps peace—and in a final gesture of clarity, offers his life back to the giver of life. It is a thank-you, not of surrender, but of fulfilled purpose.
This piece explores the internal war many men face on the road to greatness: the sacrifice, the restraint, and the discipline required not only to rise but to remain kind, aware, and human.
There’s a quiet reverence in Bohan—a suggestion that greatness is not about what we keep, but what we give back.

Bohan was originally created on handmade Indian paper, chosen for its organic texture and spiritual resonance. The fibers of the paper respond uniquely to mark-making, allowing for a softness and unpredictability that mirrors the emotional weight of the subject.
Using HB pencil for control and charcoal for atmosphere, the drawing balances precision and chaos. The smudging, layering, and negative space weren’t just aesthetic decisions—they reflect the inner turbulence of transformation. The medium allowed the figure to almost emerge from the page rather than sit on top of it, creating a sense of ghost-like presence, as if the man is both arriving and departing at once.
The red characters in the corners, as well as the scattered symbols in the background, act like sacred graffiti—untranslated, but intuitively understood. They hint at a system of thought beyond language, a language of sacrifice and spiritual elevation.
Every aspect of the process was about restraint and intention. Nothing in Bohan was rushed. Even the paper’s uneven edges—visible in the original—suggest that this story wasn’t meant to be told on perfect, factory-cut surfaces. It was meant to live on something real.
