Heart Hug

Heart Hug

Painting, Portrait, Political / Social, Philosophy, Ideas, Mixed technique, 73x74cm
OIL / MIXED MEDIA ON CARVED WOOD SET ON A BLACK FRAMED BACKBOARD
This image represents a nurturing feminine energy giving a hug to all the people of the world. The human world is characterised by two red faces with carved profiles looking in opposite directions. They symbolise the divisions created by political, cultural and ideological differences and classifications related to gender, race and social status. The contrasting blue and yellow image is positioned as a heart. It signals the idea of keeping other people in your heart, instead of judging them with your head. The heart hug is a plea to respect people for their humanity not for social status or material attributes. It's a message not to let differences make the people enemies. The work is an example of my dissolve technique with abstract portraits hidden inside the texture to convey a range of human emotions associated with many aspects of life experience.
