About The Artwork
This painting as part of the "Discovering Human Sexuality" series, represents a bold and unconventional exploration of the themes of love and societal indifference. You embarked on this journey with the intent to challenge yourself artistically, opting for a dramatic execution within a restricted palette, primarily focusing on primary colors. This decision signifies a deliberate move away from Hypermodern Realism, aiming to provoke thought and elicit a visceral reaction from the viewer. The painting captures a moment of passion—a fiery, explosive kiss between a man and a dog—set against the backdrop of societal indifference. This choice of subject matter was inspired by an article titled "Animal Instincts" by Thomas Francis, published in the Miami New Times on August 18, 2009. Your encounter with the image from this article in Miami Beach newsboxes struck a chord with you, sparking a reflection on cultural and societal norms, particularly in comparison to the anticipated reactions such a piece would garner in Italy, where the church, politics, and much of the populace might respond with disdain or outrage. The artwork ventures into the complexities of human emotions and societal taboos, aiming to depict a nuanced interpretation of love that transcends conventional boundaries. By situating the kiss within the vibrant yet obscuring colors of Miami's South Beach Ocean Drive buildings, you invite viewers to look beyond first impressions, to question and to understand the depth of feeling and isolation experienced by the subjects of both your painting and the article that inspired it. www.antoninolavela.com

Since embarking on my artistic journey in the early 1990s, my creative pursuits have been deeply rooted in the exploration of sociopolitical themes through conceptually driven painting. My artistry is an ongoing dialogue with societal and political discourses, where I aim to highlight and question the complexities of social issues and the constructs of gender roles and identities. My work delves into the human condition, juxtaposing the fragility of our existence with visions of realism and speculative futures. This exploration is not only a reflection of the present but also a contemplation of the potential that lies ahead. The nuances of human vulnerability are captured through my artistic lens, inviting viewers to engage in a profound introspection and a reconsideration of the world around them. After a significant hiatus that began in 2001, I found myself at a crossroads in 2010. It was then that I made the decisive choice to reignite my passion for painting and reintroduce my work to the world. This period of reflection and growth culminated in my alignment with the Art Movement Thinkism. This affiliation marks a new chapter in my career, characterized by a renewed commitment to using art as a vehicle for thought and change. Through my participation in various international competitions and artistic performances since 2010, I have sought not only to showcase my work but also to immerse myself in a global conversation about the transformative power of art. My journey is one of continuous evolution, as I strive to create art that not only questions and critiques but also inspires and transcends, urging us to envision a world where creativity and conscience coalesce. www.antoninolavela.com www.antoninolavela.it
