With its bright colours and distorted features, this portrait invites to deep reflection while also to pure enjoyment. There is something wild about it, something exotic and untamed that transcends the meticulous technique of its style. The choice of palette conveys a strong sensation of liveliness, and the words add extra meaning, anchoring the image in a place and time. It has been painted on timber, which allows for the energetic strokes that characterise this style.
This painting summarizes the energy of the author’s work, with an exalted perspective of reality that flows in a stream of brightness. The grotesque is embraced as part of life, as a mode of viewing, as a function of beauty. This piece is for the collector who appreciates an audacious sight, a canvas of burning light.
