Style: Abstract Figurative

Description:
Man in the Rain with an Umbrella captures the quiet tension between vulnerability and shelter. The figure, loosely defined, is framed against a cascade of rain rendered in layered strokes of gray, blue, and muted white. The umbrella is both a shield and a symbol, anchoring the composition while the surrounding atmosphere dissolves into movement.

The palette emphasizes mood over realism: deep tones convey weight, while lighter washes break through like fleeting moments of calm. Rather than a literal scene, the work becomes an exploration of solitude, resilience, and the fragile act of finding cover within the storm.
