Love Is You

Love Is You started with a few things I keep coming back to in my work: space, galaxies, poetry, love — and the combination of blue and gold.

But this one became personal.

While working on it, I was thinking about my love for my partner and how something as simple as a few words can carry so much meaning:

Love is New.
Love is Old.
Love is All.
Love is You.

The artwork grew from there, bringing together colour, texture and those words to create something that feels more like a visual love letter than a traditional painting.

I also wanted to make the frame myself. I used some carpentry skills I inherited from my grandfather, working with natural wood, nails, wood glue and, perhaps most importantly, patience. It came together better than I expected — and it gives the whole piece a solid, almost substantial presence.

For me, Love Is You is ultimately an expression of love, but I like that the message doesn't need much explanation. The words, colours and textures can speak for themselves.

I hope it brings you that slightly poetic feeling of love, connection and warmth — and maybe makes you think of someone who is your YOU.
