Untitled 24 (Rural Couple)

This painting distills a rural procession into bold, flattened planes of color, where vermilion, teal, and chalky whites collide with a deliberate, almost ceremonial rhythm. The figures—simplified yet resolute—lean into one another as if stitched together by shared labor and belonging, while the upright staff becomes both walking aid and emblem of continuity. A white bull’s head enters like a quiet benediction, its pale mass anchoring the composition and suggesting sustenance, devotion, and the dignity of agrarian life. The brisk, confident brushwork refuses sentimental detail, instead elevating the scene into a timeless icon of partnership between human, animal, and land.
