Year: 2021
Size: 90x90 cm
Technique: Acrylic and resin on canvas

In the pictorial work there is a freedom of expression aimed at externalizing a creativity in which rationality gives way to emotionality. The artist chooses to bring to canvas the essence of love. An aesthetic quest, strong and decisive is understood in the use of the color red, which represents the heart, desire and passion, and in the use of the color light blue that evokes feelings of peace, serenity and balance. The contrast between the red and light blue creates a sense of tension and excitement; the two colors come together harmoniously like the threads that bind two people who love each other, at the same time the colors separate like the threads of a love possessive. Through the combination of a warm and a cold color and a vibrant and contrasting, the artist compares the threads of love to elevator wires. When these wires are not put on right and are crooked, the elev tor goes haywire, as does love, which is destroyed by the total lack of affection and respect. The elevator, then, becomes the symbol of the intuitive, painful and explosive incommunicability of toxic love.
