ACTS AS AN INTRUDER Painting

ACTS AS AN INTRUDER 32"x 24” (80 cm x 60 cm) Original Acrylic/Imitation Gold painting on canvas This is an original one of a kind painting. I know that the price for one piece is high and seems to be expensive. But I just love the feeling of knowing that the piece will belong to someone, who truly loves it. The originals are hanging on the walls all across the world, from modish Californian manors to university dormitories and small townhouses in England. And that is why I do art. This is a unique artwork. I don't do prints. „Love is a fog that burns with the first daylight of reality.“ — Charles Bukowski The work references to the contrast of light versus dark in Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’. In the world of this play, dawn, day, and bright lights are, overwhelmingly, negative—night, the only time Romeo and Juliet can be together in secret, is the time of day they both long for, and together they grow to lament the arrival of the days that pull them apart. “The play made me think of two quintessentially polar symbols such as dark/night versus light/day and in my artwork series I inverted both of them and make light overwhelmingly negative and darkness soothing and revealing. Through art I wanted to be able to produce alternative ideas and vision that might question the traditional notion of light as a symbol of Love, purity and hope that always has to win in the end. For me darkness on paintings and photos is seen as “night” – the time of genuine disclose. I know that the darkness will bring me the Love and we will be truly together in the dead of night. Deep down we both wish that it could be dark out forevermore so that our time together could be uninterrupted.” This gold-layered artowork complicate the traditional association of light over dark and shows bright gold as intrusive and unwelcome, powerful and frightening; dark colors, however feel as openness and good fortune.
