The painting titled 'A man without passport with policeman' is a compelling Illustration that captures a tense moment between authority and individual. Executed as an Etching on Paper, the artwork employs a raw and straightforward style reminiscent of Naïve art (primitivism). The figures are rendered with simplified forms and vibrant colors, emphasizing emotional intensity over technical precision. This piece invites viewers to reflect on issues of identity and power, conveyed through its unapologetically naive yet evocative aesthetic.
