Original artwork description:

When creating this piece, I aimed to capture not only the man’s outward appearance but also the inner spirit and pride he carries. I used strong contrasts of light and shadow to emphasize the intensity of his gaze, allowing the viewer to feel an unspoken strength. The paint marks on his face and the feathers in his hair symbolize a connection with nature and tradition, while the softened background enhances his presence, making him emerge as if from history and legend.
I employed a mix of impasto and splattering to create both texture and energy. The brushstrokes are swift and decisive, balancing detail with overall impression. Highlights on the feathers and ornaments break the monotony of tones, breathing vitality into the portrait.
