Contents

The image shows the interior fusion and ether as a unique union of an only breath. The character will find their light meeting up at nighttime in the world of the death ones, in eternity.

The filter of Love catalyzes the abstraction which was manifested in both lovers, the conventions of the real world, the world of light preventing the approachiness. They have to meet each other in the dark.

 
Impressions

I wanted to light up at the two lovers. Their faces come up embraced into one unique body. They are the light that comes out of darkness to join, to enjoy love in peacefully in the eternity.

The chromatism, the melody and longing in Richard Wagner´s drama became part in the creation of my 2014 work.

This event ends up with the Opus Nigrum birth!
