About this artwork
A man in a yellow jersey, his gaze directed upwards – concentrated, exhausted, completely in the moment. Hjalmar Thelen depicts not the sporting spectacle here, but the inner tension of a moment just before the decisive moment. The face is sculpted in strong red tones and violet shadows, the light refracts in bright yellow. Between physical presence and quiet vulnerability, a powerful portrait of concentration unfolds – at once the image of an athlete… and a symbol of humanity.
Color becomes the language of emotion: the red pulsates, the yellow glows, the surrounding darkness retreats. Thelen doesn't paint heroes, but people—in all their intensity, in the midst of life.
Hjalmar Thelen (1962–2017) was a Berlin painter and draftsman who made the unspectacular visible: faces, places, and everyday scenes. His works—on paper, cardboard, or canvas—are direct, concentrated, and characterized by quiet precision. Without academic training, but with a clear eye and a delicate touch, he created over 2,000 works. His art is quiet, figurative, narrative—and characterized by respect for what is depicted. His studio was his apartment, but he most enjoyed traveling by bicycle, armed with a field easel and paints, along Berlin's canals, rivers, and lakes.
