“King Samuro”

“King Samuro” is a non-figurative painting that presents a dual and enigmatic image. At first glance, one can see a bird-like face with a crest or a red beret, evoking the image of a bird of prey. However, the artist was also inspired by the figure of a dictator, creating an intentional ambiguity. The work invites the viewer to decipher and interpret the image, generating a reflection on the relationship between power, authority, and freedom. The duality of the image suggests that the “king” can be both a symbol of strength and dominance as well as an emblem of oppression and control. Charruartt’s work challenges the viewer to question their perceptions and explore the complexities of power and authority.
