One of the earliest figurative works by The Expressionist, “The First Man” marks the beginning of a deeper exploration into identity and shared humanity. Painted in layered tones of blue to transcend the boundaries of skin color, the figure becomes both intimate and universal—an expression of being rather than belonging.

Surrounded by a rush of vivid motion and color, the composition captures the tension between stillness and energy, calm and creation. “The First Man” remains a foundation piece—an awakening of the artist’s voice and vision that continues to echo through every work that followed.
