Original artwork description:

Before me is an image in which I sought to combine the simplicity and grandeur of the human body with the motifs of labor and nature. The male figure occupies the entire center of the composition: its plasticity and naturalness become the main accent. I painted the model in the evening light, when the setting sun softly falls on the skin, highlighting its warm shades and emphasizing the relief of the muscles.

Nudity here is not a symbol of vulnerability, but a sign of the primordial strength and harmony of man with the world. On his shoulder, the young man carries a vessel, as if a hint of a connection with ancient images of water carriers or grapes. The silhouette is simple, calm, but in his pose one can feel inner concentration and quiet pride.

The background with muted colors - houses and nature - remains only a hint, creating the atmosphere of the southern region and at the same time leaving space for contemplation. For me, this is not just a portrait, but an attempt to capture the beauty of the human body as a natural and sublime phenomenon, beyond conventions and time.
