About this artwork
Dreadlocks
This image, inspired by the state of complete immersion in current feelings, in their brightness and, at the same time, harmony, is combined with African motives. All of this is embodied in my favorite intricate patterns and contrasting color combinations. There are references to reggae culture: the image of an African American with dreadlocks, as well as the proximity of the philosophy of reggae, which says: live in harmony with nature,… do not encroach on the freedom of people and other creatures. This is reflected in a painting that resembles nature in its elements and is full of warmth. Reggae music, with its bassline and drums, literally vibrates with its sound. The same feeling of movement, vibration is in the lines of this painting.
