Basorexia Painting

Basorexia (n) describes the sudden urge or desire to kiss someone. This piece is meant to evoke the hundreds of emotions that arise moments before a first kiss. I want to conjure up feelings of excitement, passion, and affection, but also traces of nervousness, anxiety and edginess. In short - the thrill of the chase moments before a kiss. The Emotions in Technicolor collection is a growing album of works that describe a specific, sometimes complex emotion. I draw inspiration especially from foreign languages; East Asian and Germanic languages, but also Old English, have some exceptional and often esoteric diction to describe human emotions. More often than not, these words become the titles of the piece describing the emotion.
