A hazy, almost fleeting form seems to rest in someone's hand - a shadow of a human being, heavy with fatigue and emptiness. The contours fade into dark shades of brown and black, while white paint strokes and subtle red highlights give the image something human, something fragile. This work breathes dejection, the phase when words fail and only silence speaks.
The inspiration lies in those moments when life loses its luster, when nothing seems to come naturally. "Soul under the Arm" is not a lament, but an honest recognition that sometimes things are not rosy. The soul, depicted here as a weight to be carried, symbolises the burden of existence - and at the same time the ability to keep on carrying it.
The rough brushstrokes and minimal use of colour give the work a raw directness. It invites the viewer to feel rather than explain.
In an interior, this work is a powerful, emotional anchor - a reminder that vulnerability also has beauty.
