A very confrontational account of a larger-than-life doting couple
is being portrayed in this painting. An intensity of an exchange of
emotions is exuded via the closed eyes of the couple. The static,
straightforward visual composition was intentionally centralised by
the artist, to accentuate the fact that there is absolutely no place
for anything else but love in this piece of creative magic on canvas.
- Vidhya Gnana Gouresan, Art Curator
