Title:Sons of the Red Horizon
Year: 2022
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 100 x 120 cm
Bold silhouettes of three figures dominate the canvas, their bodies adorned with intricate tribal-style motifs rendered in stark black and white. Each figure stands upright, backs to the viewer, grounded against a vivid, textured backdrop of fiery orange and deep red - a symbolic landscape evoking heat, energy, and ancestral presence.
This work speaks to identity, heritage, and collective strength. The tattoos echo traditional markings, but the stylization makes them timeless - bridging the past with the present. The layered paint and deep texture invite closer inspection, giving the piece both visual rhythm and tactile richness.
The figures, though silent, seem to carry memory, resistance, and pride in their stance. They are not just individuals - they are symbols of continuity.
This work was inspired by a publicly available reference image found online and reinterpreted in a fully original composition and medium.
