Head of a Crazy Witch - Amadeo de Souza
The captured fury: Mad Witch Head by Amadeo de Souza
The composition immediately captivates with its nervous stroke and contrasting colors, where burnt ochres respond to deep blues to sculpt a troubled face. The rendering, both linear and textured, creates a palpable emotional tension: sunken eyes, clenched mouth, and tousled hair form a dramatic ensemble that holds the viewer’s gaze. The pictorial technique combines spontaneity of gesture with mastery of modeling, giving this image an almost theatrical atmosphere. This intense interpretation reveals a modern reading of the body and social mask, inviting prolonged contemplation.

His works, often centered on the human figure, explore the uniqueness of faces and emotions rather than documentary realism. Through Mad Witch Head, he affirms his interest in expressive contrasts and the narrative power of portraiture, thus consolidating his place in contemporary art history.
