I like to portray the interaction between the figures and nature from life and this painting is a representation of a young male portrait capturing the moment and expression to pause and observe what is happening on life. In this painting, I am using the thematic of the young male figure to reflect on how they live in the modern world. The figure is immersed in a background of patterns and shapes to suggest the culture in which he live, and I use the language from folkloric tradition with modern to think about how we are inherited to the traditional way and living the contemporary culture.Try it!
