Close enough for a kiss. On the left a man in a bow tie, on the right a woman with long fair hair, both in profile, drawn in graphite, only the lips red.
In the space between their faces, colour opens up: a bay with a harbour, boats and pale houses. Behind it stand blue mountains under a sky of turquoise and apricot. Above, a heart in rainbow colours, from which rays rise upwards.
What connects two people is, here, an entire place – sky, water, rooftops. That is exactly where their gazes meet. Insieme, per sempre – together, forever.
This painting was created as a commission. Your own place, your own story: this is how your couple portrait comes about too, in your format.
