• Year created: 2019

• Medium: oil on canvas

• Dimensions (cm): 200x195

This painting radiates intensity through its bold use of fragmented color and layered imagery. At the center stands a figure robed in red and green, divided by a sharp vertical plane that cuts the canvas into contrasting fields of yellow and blue. This split creates a sense of duality—sacred versus earthly, light versus shadow—suggesting a moment of profound spiritual and human conflict.

Surrounding the central figure are dynamic human forms, bent and strained in gestures of labor, suffering, or supplication. On the right, a man struggles with a heavy wooden beam, echoing themes of burden and sacrifice. To the left, ghostly faces and spectral outlines emerge from the swaths of color, hinting at a collective memory or unseen witnesses that blur the line between the physical and the spiritual.

The painting’s vibrancy lies not only in its palette but in its tension—between order and chaos, devotion and struggle, presence and absence. It captures a timeless drama, where the sacred is refracted through the fractured lens of human experience.
