The past never disappears; it persists in detailed bodies, contrasted with synthetic lines, canvases that appear to have been taken from ancient caves, and totemic figures. In his work, Chidy Wayne seeks a space where man confronts the forces that shape him.
With his series Ego and Pugna, he explores introspection and inner conflict, questioning man's duality. The hand, a recurring motif in his work, symbolises both identity and the transmission of intangible heritage. His Pugnatores, archaic wrestlers in constant tension, embody this intimate and universal struggle, in which man confronts himself and the forces that shape him.
