Bartolomeu

Bartolomeu shares a palette with Awa, but took a very different path.
This portrait came together with immediacy: the pose, the light, the gaze.
He feels close, almost caught mid-movement, and yet somehow remains outside of time.
There’s a tension between intimacy and distance here, a presence that doesn’t fully explain itself.

Part of an ongoing exploration of individual expression and quiet intensity.
