Soldier Walking Pink and Gold Painting - Not Towards the Light - Military Edition

The visual

A soldier from behind, helmet on his head and rifle on his shoulder, walks towards the horizon in an almost celestial setting. The composition revolves around a play of powder pink, gold and turquoise blue that stripe the background in wide vertical bands, reminiscent of rays of light. The bottom of the painting is drowned in a thick white and pink mist, applied with a knife, which suggests smoke or cloud. The silhouette itself is treated in a chiaroscuro of warm and cold tones, almost impressionistic. The impasto creates a visible, textured relief that captures natural light depending on the viewing angle. The contrast between the dark figure and the bright background structures the entire work. The whole exudes an atmosphere that is both dreamlike and serious, between abstraction and figuration.
