Resonance Of Color


The boy leans against the emptiness of his world,
his sharp elbow inclined on the wood, 
holding up the burden of a young mind.
His red vest ablaze like ember,
the defiant flare of youth, 
glows in the quietude of the auburn ambiance.
The background configured in fractured patterns-
a slate curtain, an olive wall,
capture the space between his thoughts.

His gaze drifts desolate
into the realm of reflection 
where silence congregates in introspection,
embodied in emotional resonance of color 
and in innovative portraiture of impressionism.


Inspired by Boy In A Red Vest by Paul Cezanne (1889)
