Part of Hakim Idriss’s ongoing exploration of portraiture through knife painting, Aïm captures the raw, unfiltered energy of youth. The subject — suspended between childhood and adolescence — radiates a presence that feels both introspective and instinctive. Bold strokes of yellow, green, and blue construct a fragmented surface where emotion and structure coexist. The composition resists idealization, instead revealing a moment of character and light. Through this piece, Idriss continues to explore how color and gesture can translate attitude, vitality, and the silent power of innocence.
