In this work from the Garoto com local series, the portrait is reduced to a few decisive elements: a frontal bust, an ochre ground, and a single red eye that unsettles the entire composition. This economy of means heightens the figure’s presence, while the red eye acts as a point of desire, alertness, or disturbance. In acrylic and oil on drawing, the work condenses a masculine figure that feels both intimate and inaccessible.
