‘Soul on Wheels’ is a monochrome fine art photograph, by Rossano B Maniscalchi, that personifies the Herculean physique of masculine perfection. This is a portrait of a perfectly formed man who exudes control, balance, purety and deference to inhibition. He is an Adonis, as natural as the elements that surround him. The deep tones of his lustrous skin gracefully undulate like the sea over the contours of his consummate anatomy. His composure is as calm as the clear sky above. His shadow is cast behind him on the coarse texture of the sand and seashells, which form a textured contrast to this supremely serene scene. The innovation of the wheel succinctly manifests man’s intellectual supremacy over any other living entity. This portrait uses two refined wheels as a pictorial metaphor to illustrate this intrinsic acuity. The implication of this portrait is sublime in its simplicity.
