Amore – Infinite Love

‘Amore-infinite love’ began as a small pencil drawing on a scrap of paper during a flight home from Ottawa in 1998, after what seemed an absence of eternity. As mentioned in my ‘about’ page, I often use raw primary colours to represent differing emotive states: red for love/passion, yellow for wholeness, stability and the physical state of the self, and blue for the intellect and mind.
Besides the dominance of red hues within this large piece, I also wanted to convey a sense of being ‘drawn into love’ within the composition, as if there were no escape. The dominance of red hues and swirling forms, around an indeterminant focal point, seeks to convey the passionate intensity of unconditional love into which we are inextricably drawn, with no escape!
