About the artwork

My artwork 'First date' brings to life a touching moment in which two young people experience their very first love date. This scene takes place in a park, where they sit together on the edge of a fountain. The details in their clothing reveal that this moment took place some time ago.

The artwork reflects the delicate and tender emotions that accompany a first experience of love. The boy and girl exude a visible excitement and shyness as they explore each other and try to make a connection. Their posture, gestures and glances depict the innocence and purity of this special encounter.

The surroundings of the park and the fountain provide a romantic backdrop for their date. The park represents a safe and peaceful space where they can explore and nurture their feelings. The fountain symbolises the sparkling energy of youth and the excitement of this first love experience.

Through the clothing of the boy and girl, it is clear that this scene is set in the past. The style and details of their clothes evoke a sense of nostalgia and recall a time gone by. This adds to the enchanting atmosphere of the artwork and enhances its emotional impact.

With 'First date' I try to take the viewer on a journey back in time, to a moment full of innocent love and wonder. The artwork invites reflection on the powerful emotions we all experienced during our first love experiences. It is a tribute to the timeless and universal essence of first love.
