"The most powerful man is the one who is totally master of himself" (Aristotle)

This painting shows the image of a man from behind, with a background loaded with force in the distribution of color.

His body feels tired but not downcast, fatigued but not resigned since his body posture gives an idea of regret, of uncertainty, of inner struggle.

Even without showing his face, it can be assumed that he has a sad but unbeaten look, but without elucidating the reason for his distress.

As the writer Hugo Wast said: «Much deeper and more mysterious than the sky is the heart of man. The eyes that see millions of stars cannot discover a hidden thought. »

It is up to the will and subjectivity of whoever observes it to appropriate the idea of this painting, feeling in it the inner strength that makes man move forward.

"That's why we don't lose heart. Even as our outer man is crumbling, the inner man is being renewed day by day. " Second Letter to the Corinthians 4,16
