Oil on canvas, scraffittio technique on hair tones. Transparent glazes built up on surrounding background radiance.
A stripped figure is seen robbed of all possessions, identity and strength. His expression shows a painful anxiety from a hidden oppressor, though what form the oppression takes is unknown be it physical harm or a deeper, authoritarian poison attacking his perceptions of existence. He is shown in anguish as this enigmatic power is draining his energy. However, his body itself shows no sign of the damage. Although he is has been stripped of everything his pride remains intact; his bold, defined form remains couragious and charismatic; his nakedness has only shown the eternal spirit of resolution that lies hidden within him that cannot be removed by any physical, emotional or bearaucratic power. |
