If Art has to be the only true form of truth and honesty, then painting is a conversation, a more or less disguised fight. Through the creative process, there’s no other way but to be honest with yourself and the artwork that is being created. |...

This striking portrait features a mature man with serene features, set against a vibrant backdrop of lush greenery and colorful wildflowers. The subject's expression exudes wisdom and introspection, inviting viewers to contemplate his story. The contrasting colors between the man’s muted tones and the bright, lively background create a dynamic visual impact, highlighting both his presence and the natural world around him. The brushwork is expressive, lending a sense of movement and life to the foliage, which is complemented by soft, blended details in the sky overhead. This painting would serve as a captivating focal point in various interior settings. Consider placing it in a living room, study, or hallway to enhance a sense of warmth and reflection. It can also complement spaces infused with greenery, such as sunrooms or home offices with large windows, bridging the indoor and outdoor ambiance. The artwork’s colors could harmonize beautifully with earthy tones and neutral furnishings, making it a versatile addition to modern or traditional decor.
This painting belongs to a series of portraits of writers whose work I appreciate.
Here, Gao Xingjian, Chinese writer, playwright and director. Nobel Prize in Literature in 2000.
The introspection in his work is a part of our own questioning of our origin, our aspirations and the reality of the world in which we operate. Soul mountain and One man's Bible are two novels which, if they are not already, will be considered classics of the literature of the 20th century. |
