Encounter, exchange and physical connection
In my painting, two ovals of almost equal size meet: one turquoise, the other red. Each carries elements of the other’s colour within it. With the connections at the top and bottom, I also express physical union.
In the exchange of colours, I also see an inner and emotional encounter. The two forms remain recognisable while taking something of each other into themselves. I therefore associate love with closeness and mutual change between independent beings.
With this thought in mind, you can approach the works I have associated with the concept Love. Follow an encounter that sparks your curiosity.
Encounters with Love
I have assigned each of these works to the concept that, in my view, finds its strongest expression in it. Your own perspective and the connections you discover have a place here too.
