Description
The artwork is a striking portrait depicting a Black male figure rendered in bold, expressive brushstrokes. The composition is dominated by a large, close-up face against a plain white background, with the subject's intense gaze conveying a powerful sense of emotion. The use of dark, monochromatic tones, particularly the deep black used for the skin, creates a dramatic, almost sculptural quality to the portrait. The artist's distinctive style and confident, gestural technique suggest an Expressionist or Neo-Expressionist approach, reflecting a desire to capture the sitter's inner humanity and psychological state.

Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux
B.1995, FrenchBorn in 1995 in the West Indies on the island of Guadeloupe, Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux now lives and works in Paris. At the age of 8, Elladj leaves his native island for the Metropolis with his family. It is a total change, a physical, mental and cultural revolution.

Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux operates a work of experimentation and documentation, focusing on heritage images, symbolic and Afro-Caribbean spiritualities.

Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2021. ...
