🎨 Warrior of the Mind (Swordsman #2)
2024 · Oil and Pastel on Canvas · 48” × 36”
In Warrior of the Mind, the battle isn’t waged on fields — it unfolds within.
This 2024 original by Malik explores the tension between chaos and clarity, body and thought, shadow and light.
Rendered in oil and pastel, the figure — half myth, half mirror — stands armed with a yellow blade that gleams like an idea cutting through confusion.
The background, rich in architectural echoes and fevered color, represents the inner city of consciousness: memory, noise, prayer, and resistance. Every brushstroke feels alive — impulsive yet deliberate — revealing Malik’s ongoing exploration of how thought can become form, and how form becomes freedom.
This piece belongs to the artist’s Swordsmen Series, where each canvas captures a different aspect of courage: the fight not against others, but against one’s own doubts.
