The portrait shows a man. It is not possible to see his face, but you can understand that this person is alive thanks to the cuts. The blood I'm showing you testifies to life, energy, events, change, vulnerability, and strength.
As an artist, I really like this piece of mine. Every master has favorites, this is my favorite.
The burlap canvas is stretched by hand. Take a closer look at the wonderful texture of the burlap canvas and portrait.
Artwork for the "Terra Our Own" series. The parallels between our own body and the body of the planet we inhabit is what is the concept of this series.
I worked on this series 2020-2021
