Le Yack - Quiet Strength - Hand signed

This work depicts a seated male nude, captured in a moment of deep interiority. The body, powerful and sculpted, is treated with great pictorial delicacy, reminiscent of the academic tradition of the nude while diverging from it through a contemporary and emotional approach.
The side light, inspired by Edward Hopper's aesthetic, shapes the volumes with sobriety and reveals the texture of the skin through successive touches, evoking classic oil painting.
The gaze, slightly lowered, and the restrained tension of the mouth suggest a silent meditation, a contained strength mingled with an accepted vulnerability.
The work questions the representation of the masculine body not as a symbol of domination, but as a sensitive space inhabited by doubt, poetry, and suspended time. A figure both corporeal and spiritual, imbued with dignity and calm.
