About the artwork

In this expressive-abstract painting, a vibrant composition unfolds, bursting forth from the centre of the picture like a living pulse. Two female faces rise from a sea of colour, movement and light as if they were born from the flow of paint itself - pigments that have coagulated into flesh, emotion and longing. The impasto, almost sculptural surface lends the figures a sensual physicality, as if they were growing directly out of the canvas.

Their closed eyes bear witness to devotion and inner peace, while their lips touch in a tender, almost timeless kiss - a moment that hovers between tension and gentleness, between dream and reality.

The figure on the left, clad in deep, cool tones of dark lilac, azure blue and purple, carries an aura of mystery, of the unspoken. Her counterpart, flooded with warm light, seems to be born of fire and sun: bright orange, flowing red and soft yellow tones merge into a warm, vibrant presence. A delicate earring glows like a point of light between the layers of colour.

While the figure on the left is more clearly detached from the background, the one on the right merges almost completely with it - as if it were part of the space, part of the breath of the picture itself. This encounter of colour, form and emotion creates a poetic balance: a visual song about closeness, desire and the fragile harmony of opposites.
