Original artwork description:

In poetry and literature, but also in common speech, a synecdoche is a figure where a part is used to represent the whole, and vice-versa. This figure is one of the most evocative and widely used when we want to give a touch of emphasys to our words; speaking about imagery and visual arts, probabily even a particular can be representative of a more complex whole. In this case, the deep stare of this painting's protagonist can be considered a synecdoche of his whole body: the tension he communicates is probabily the same tension in his muscles, ready to react to something in his surroundings. The leaves which blend his chest in the background add some mystery to the whole composition.

Elegant and essential painting realized in an oval canvas, comes ready to hang with painted edges, d-rings and wire.

Materials used:

canvas, acrylics
