The background sways with abstract shapes and forms, suggesting a vivid, natural setting that seems almost alive—dancing around the central subjects.Enckell's use of light and shadow not only enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures but also contributes to the overall mystical and otherworldly atmosphere of the painting. This piece is a beautiful example of how Enckell could harmonize the human figure with nature, both in form and spirit."Two Men" is a testament to Enckell’s skills in expressionism, where emotion and expression are foregrounded through powerful, artistic strokes and a harmonious color scheme.
