"Belakani," part of the Tapestry in six paintings, is a compelling work that blends elements of Naïve art (primitivism) with a vibrant landscape setting. The artist employs oil paints on oilcloth, resulting in a luminous surface that enhances the whimsical yet straightforward portrayal of figures and scenery. The painting’s simplified forms and bold colors evoke a sense of innocence and spontaneity, contrasting with modern Surrealism tendencies, yet maintaining a dream-like atmosphere that invites viewers into a lively, primitive interpretation of the world.
