$2.000

Acrylic on canvas, Dereje Shiferaw (Ethiopian, born 1976)

Harvest of Memories, 2024

100 x 100 cm

This piece exudes a raw and expressive energy. The figure at the centre stands poised yet contemplative, wearing a bold red shirt that draws immediate attention. The striking use of contrasting colors — the deep black of the figure’s face and the vivid reds, yellows, and greens surrounding them — creates a dynamic composition. The tropical elements like the pineapple, bananas, and lush greenery suggest themes of culture, identity, or connection to nature. The bold, gestural lines and abstract background add a modern, almost chaotic touch, emphasizing emotion over realism. The overall piece feels deeply personal, with a narrative that invites reflection on humanity and identity.
