Oral Tradition (Icon TX-02)

Oral Tradition unfolds as a rhythmic sequence of figures arranged in horizontal bands, like panels from an ancient narrative frieze. Abstract silhouettes, some vibrant, others ghostlike, stand in quiet relation to one another, suggesting gatherings, exchanges, and the passing of stories from one generation to the next. The palette blends warm reds and ochres with cooler blues and violets, creating a sense of both intimacy and mystery. Though the forms are simplified, their gestures feel alive, evoking voices shared in the twilight, rituals remembered, and knowledge carried forward through time. The painting becomes a visual echo of spoken history; fragile, collective, and endlessly renewed.
