The Chosen One (Intore)

2020 | Oil, Stretched on Wooden Frame

This painting shows a man holding a spear and a shield. He is a traditional dancer. In the old times Intore were soldiers who would go to battles so whenever they came back they would demonstrate and celebrate their heroism. Today, these traditional dancers perform in different ceremonies especially weddings. Intore shows bravery, loyalty, heroism and in bad times he should be ready to help.
