Luvstructa

This digital remix is based on my painting Luvstruk, which was sold in 2014. I have been wanting to do something with it for a while. During the creation of the painting, I photographed it at various stages, then completely reconstructed it digitally.  The title reminds us of the idea that we always try to deconstruct love, especially after it is over. Do we ever truly understand love? Love can have many forms and shapes: it is lust, power, embrace, loss. Love is pounding hearts. It is the strongest feeling. It's a smile in her eyes. Using bold, bright abstract geometric shapes that suggest heart shapes, I used opposite colours to enhance the journey into the artwork. Love is a strange thing. When you deconstruct it, it becomes a stranger thing.
