This small painting confronts two visual languages: the peasant figure, constructed with a classical gesture and respect for form, and a vibrant, almost aggressive background of abstract stains. The woman, bent over, carrying sheaves of grain or hay, seems oblivious to the chaos around her, or perhaps she organizes it through her repetitive, essential act.
The scene evokes a certain timelessness, but it is not nostalgic. The background — explosive, dirty, modern — hints at a rupture or a layering of eras. The act of working the land stands firm, solid, against a world fragmented into pictorial layers. It is a silent piece, but one charged with visual and symbolic friction.
