In the upper part of this painting I was trying to create a timeless architecture. The repeating arches fold into one another, leading to a darkened doorway that feels like an aperture, but one that refuses to reveal what lies beyond. I was thinking about architects like Étienne-Louis Boullée, whose monumental designs used scale and light to evoke the infinite, and Tadao Ando, whose stark geometries and play of shadow and radiance create a sense of quiet transcendence. I wanted this structure to feel like a threshold—between shadow and light, the known and the unknown, but also a monument to the image below of the couple.
Below, the focus turns to a couple locked in an embrace. I was trying to capture something raw and primal in their closeness, where love becomes sculptural, almost as if their bodies were carved from the same colours as the architecture above. I think about Klimt and the way intimacy can be transformed into something vast, or Michelangelo’s unfinished figures, emerging and dissolving at the same time. For me this image is about connection, about the wonder and vulnerability of giving yourself to another person.
Together, these two sections are meant to reflect one another. The arches above and the embrace below are two different versions of stepping into the unknown—one abstract and architectural, the other bodily and intimate. I was trying to suggest that both spaces hold the same kind of mystery: the risk of crossing a threshold, of moving toward something you cannot yet understand, but feel compelled to reach for.
