Portrait of Yesterday I-2025

Artist's Inner Monologue:

Growing up playing football in the village, we didn’t just chase and kick a ball,we discovered the quiet power of synergy. We knew the right teammates who brought out the best in us, who made the game flow, who made the dust feel like glory. That instinct, shaped in the dusty fields of childhood, still guides us. We still search for environments and circles that ignite our potential, where collaboration becomes elevation. As Nietzsche once wrote in Beyond Good and Evil: “Maturity is to have rediscovered the seriousness one had as a child, at play.” This painting to me is a tribute to that rediscovery,an ode to brotherhood, environment and the invisible strategies of becoming. It shows how the games we played shaped the lives we lead , and how the people we surround ourselves with still define the best version of who we are.
