Every artist carries within a quiet need,
to experiment, to try,
to find new ways to speak their own truth.
It’s not always a matter of technique.
It’s something deeper, a kind of curiosity,
almost childlike,
a voice that whispers: “Try it… see what happens.”
That’s how this painting was born.
I wanted to step away from shadows and realism,
and enter a simpler, more symbolic world,
a world that feels like a fairytale,
where colors speak more clearly than words.
Two figures, embracing before a castle.
He, in blue, like water.
She, in red, like fire.
The light, yellow, the sun, the eternal memory.
And the sky filled with tiny dots,
like thoughts drifting above all that was never said.
For me, the fairytale here isn’t the story of the castle.
It’s the one we all carry inside us,
where blue and red, logic and emotion,
learn to coexist without extinguishing one another.
This painting is, at its heart, an experiment,
a small game with form, color, and feeling.
And as often happens with art,
the result may not seem impressive on a screen or in a video,
but in person, it carries a warmth of its own.
I realized it when my wife saw it.
She looked at it, smiled,
and simply said: “I like it.”
And at that moment,
I knew, the experiment had succeeded.
