« Prophète » 50×45cm huile/toile 2014

This work is a statement on identity, combining realistic figurative painting with a surrealism-inspired visual language. A detailed retro-style figure is set against a robust, fragmented background built from sharp angular planes and saturated fields of color.

Intense yellow, deep Venetian red, and layered shades of grey and brown give the composition an architectural character, suggesting walls, enclosed spaces, and psychological divisions. The geometric structure creates a controlled, almost monumental setting around the figure.

From the apex of the figure emerge contrasting, free-flowing forms of fire. Their organic movement breaks through the rigid geometry, introducing a strong visual contrast between structure and spontaneity, stillness and movement, exterior form and inner expression.

The combination of realistic figuration, geometric abstraction, symbolic imagery, and surrealism-style elements places the painting within the field of figurative contemporary art. The retro-inspired figure and architectural setting are balanced by the expressive fire forms, giving the composition a distinctive visual tension.

“Identity” is an original contemporary oil painting for collectors interested in realistic figurative painting, surrealism-inspired artwork, geometric contemporary art, and psychologically charged imagery.
