Austere hues, decorative simplification combined with the expressionist deformation and the volumetric purity of cubism are among the artist’s particular artistic features and are energetically showcased, yet the picture also assembles a maternal component which is markedly tender. With elements from folk tradition and the materials of xylography, he attempts to idealistically depict simplicity of the popular soul. The embrace is a movement that strongly formulates pure maternal love, through the simplicity of popular sensitivity, while the blue emphasizes the purity and inner clarity of the popular soul.
