This original work, «A gentle hug», was created by contemporary Russian artist Irina BAST and is available for purchase online.
The original painting is inspired by Gustav Klimt's famous work «The Kiss», but executed in a completely new, modern style. The canvas depicts a tender scene: a man and a woman, their heads leaning towards each other, eyes closed. They seem to dissolve into a moment of deep intimacy and love. The man gently embraces the woman, and she presses against him, conveying a sense of warmth and trust.
The materials and technique give this work a special charm. The painting is done with acrylic paints using relief, which adds volume and expressiveness to the image. Copper leaf, copper, bronze, and golden mosaic create a shimmering and luxurious effect.
A special accent of the composition is the semi-precious stones skillfully woven into the painting: agate, carnelian, amber, aventurine, mother-of-pearl, variscite, red coral, rose quartz, pearl, malachite, citrine, turquoise. Their bright colors and textures harmoniously blend with the copper and golden elements.
This painting is not just a tribute to the theme of love and unity, embodied through the richness of natural materials and the artist's skill. It invites the viewer to pause, feel, and immerse themselves in an atmosphere of tenderness and mutual respect.
You can hang this painting on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior.
