Through mixed media and drawing techniques, Stefanski explores themes of self-reflection, desire, and the mundane moments that define human experience. Titles such as I Love Myself I Hate Myself and Thirsty reveal the series' unflinching examination of internal contradiction and longing, while works like Grocery List and Show's Over ground these psychological investigations in everyday observation.
This series represents a significant body of work that demonstrates Stefanski's ability to translate complex emotional states into visually engaging compositions. The accessibility of the works on paper format, combined with their conceptual depth, has made this collection increasingly sought after by collectors interested in contemporary figurative and conceptual practice.
These pieces remain vital acquisitions for those building thoughtful contemporary collections. Several works from the series are available for purchase, and additional pieces may be acquired through direct inquiry.

Five Facts About Eric Stefanski Works on Paper
Stefanski's works on paper are typically executed in charcoal, sometimes combined with oil pastel, on heavyweight paper at an intimate 11 x 14 inch scale.
A recurring motif across his drawings and paintings is a black teardrop lifted directly from an 1885 Van Gogh painting depicting a skull smoking a cigarette — a satirical academic image Stefanski uses to evoke the trope of the tragic artist.
The drawings share the same short, direct, often blunt textual phrases that define his paintings, rendered here in a more stripped-back, immediate medium.
Stefanski earned his MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in 2015, after first studying business at DePaul University in Chicago.
He keeps regular daily studio hours in his Bridgeport, Chicago home studio, treating works on paper as part of the same continuous practice as his larger paintings.
