About the artwork
Tribesman N°1 presents the figure of a man imagined in an ancient setting where family, craft and land form the core of life. The work places him at the centre of a modest settlement, rendered with loose, textured brushwork that suggests timber structures, scattered tools, and the earthy disorder of daily labour. The sunset sky, shifting between warm yellows and mauves, casts a gentle light over the scene, softening its ruggedness and creating a sense of continuity between the landscape and the figure.
The composition focuses on the man’s stance: grounded, steady, and unguarded. His body is painted with the expressive, tactile handling characteristic of the Archaic series—firm strokes shaping muscle, hair and skin into a presence that is both physical and emotive. There is no theatrical heroism here; instead, he appears as a provider, a man returning from work or pausing before beginning it, framed by the small world that depends on him. The simple loincloth, the weathered hands, and the relaxed posture suggest a life defined by labour but also by belonging.
Colour plays a crucial role. Warm tones dominate the figure, while cooler violets, greys and browns structure the village around him. This subtle contrast pulls the viewer towards the man, emphasising his vitality against the muted environment. The painterly surface—visible strokes, layered textures, and slight chromatic vibration—evokes a sense of time worn and lived-in, reinforcing the idea of a community held together by tradition and routine.
As with other works in the Archaic series, the painting merges imagined antiquity with emotional immediacy. It reflects on masculinity not through dominance or mythology, but through continuity, responsibility and quiet strength. The tribesman stands as a reminder of an archetype: the family man whose identity is inseparable from his people and place, inhabiting a world where survival and tenderness coexist in everyday gestures.
