About the artwork

This work uses powerful symbolism to stage the tension of a moment shortly before union. A couple - woman and man - face each other, reduced to their heads, which are only partially visible, as if they had been lifted out of the picture ground itself.

The woman appears as if moulded from white marble or alabaster. With her eyes closed, she leans towards her counterpart, her face filled with a quiet, almost sacred calm. From the hairline, the form begins to dissolve: Her head melts into streams of liquid marble, of heavy gold and finally into the dominant red colour of the background. This transition from matter to colour makes the figure oscillate between corporeality and dissolution.

The man, with a dark complexion, modelled as it were from black marble, meets her from the right. His eyes are also closed and the noses of the two figures are already touching - a quiet, intimate contact in the moment before the kiss. The back of his head is lost in a similar flow: golden lines that merge into powerful red tones connect him with the vibrating picture surface.

A scene unfolds that is far more than a depiction of love. The work plays with the dialectic of solidity and dissolution, of body and matter, of closeness and fusion. Between marble, gold and pulsating red, a symbol of intimacy, passion and the fragile beauty of the moment immediately before the union is created.
