This minimal portrait captures the silent desire for human connections. The upper part of the painting depicts two central mute figures facing each other in intimate proximity. The delicate ribbons that unite them, guide the viewer’s gaze from the mute dialogue of the upper part to an abstract, yet familiar empty cityscape below them. The carefully balanced composition reverberates the scene with a palpable sense of dimensionality. The cityscape is crafted in a multi-layered, bas-relief representation, playing with depth and shodows.

The silent exchange is mirrored to the stillness of the cityscape charging the scene in a serene atmosphere of profound calmness. Concieved and created during the times of the lockdown and social distancing, the painting is a testament of the collective profound longing for human proximity.
