The weight of absence
I had this idea in my head to paint the "empty space" someone leaves behind. The absence of a person. Not in the sense that they're gone forever,
No!
I just wanted to capture that fleeting sense of loss, that empty spot. Like what you see here.
It's a single moment. And maybe the next moment, the next hour, the next day, they won't be there. You won't see them! But you feel the emptiness they leave. You know, when someone isn't there, you feel that void inside yourself, and yet somehow that emptiness presses on your chest.
I don't even know how well I managed to mix this sense of void with the eroticism and beauty of the female form, that's always been my main theme.
But I hope it comes across.
