L-gherusija (engagement)

L-Gherusija

The wheel turns through time’s dusty embrace,
Echoing tales of toil, strength, and grace.
Humble labour, etched in lines and hues,
A timeless dance of reds, yellows, and blues.

This oil painting utilizes a dynamic Cubist-inspired approach, breaking forms into angular fragments while maintaining the essence of motion. The use of a warm, earthy palette contrasts with bold black outlines to emphasize structure and rhythm. The composition focuses on the wheel as a central motif, symbolizing endurance and movement. The layered brushwork and overlapping planes create depth, blending abstraction with figurative representation.
