Hendrick Lelanda shows the daily lives of Africa in a bright and enjoyable way,
and as if he were a wizard of color, he harmoniously arranges and vividly
portrays various colors. In addition, in nature, humans form families and live a
happy life with neighbors in a panoramic format, and the objects that appear
repeatedly connect with each other, but none of them seem to, implying a natural and flexible philosophy of life.
The vast mountains and earth, flowers and trees, wild animals, houses and living
containers, and characters that are the background of the painting are
harmonizing to fill the screen. They are fully established and their stories are
blossoming. The branches spreading in a rhythmic curve, the water complex
with a long neck bent to talk to them, the roofs and bars with repeated
patterns continue to flow through the empty spaces, and the divided sides are
given a sense of rhythm to create a full and woven narrative.
