Description
oil and acrylic on canvas _ 100 x 70
Like "M." [link] this is a canvas with a lot of levels under the final painting. Yes, another hard fight with form and colour!
(at the bottom-right there are two little black vertical lines, they are two little cuts that I made with my knifes during my discontent)
The great love story is irony, it is just a fight like in this painting where at the end you come out exhausted.

thanks for your words, I really liked your critique. It's an important painting for me. (:
All my paintings talk about feelings that I have lived or that I'm living just now, I can't show a feeling that I never try.

This piece is simply amazing! The painting looks quite simple, but one can tell from the layers of oil that the artist spent lots of time and consideration on it. As always, this Agnes Cecile piece invokes emotion within its viewers e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
The contrast between the two faces is perfect and ironic. The left face looks absolutely fatigued and depressed, while the face on the right looks helpless to cure the left head's inner pain. The dripping effect on the left face further implies that there is no love at all, or that the love that existed between these two is "dripping" away. The seemingly closed eyes by the left head suggest that they are unwilling to look at the right head due to the pain they've caused them, which is absolutely accurate in a broken relationship. The right face also seems to suffer from the pain (evidenced by the blue dripping on the left side) of knowing that the love that existed between these two is fading away, but their face suggests that they are trying to hold back the pain.
One thing does bother me. Your use of blue on the left face under the lips seems quite random and misplaced. This is just nitpicking, though.
Oh, and where's your name on here? This masterpiece is yours!

Thought I did not like a painting -seems like something is missing, I appreciated the emotion and description.

Devastating. When a painting elicits an emotion... powerful, crushing in its desolation... it's such a rare and moving experience. To find that elusive place where the subtle delicateness of color and depth and subject matter and talent overwhelms the viewer, you have defined something inexplicable...transcendental... This is masterful.

It's so beautiful how you handle the mediums here. The form on the left seems to melt downward with the paint as the color from the back is struggling to fight its way forward against the form. The face on the right is beautifully drawn and is much clearer than the form on the left: this contrast in detail (for lack of a better word) between the two forms however, I am not sure if it works too well here. They each seem to stand on their own, then again, it's difficult to say without seeing one without the other, and it may be that different look is what makes the piece to interesting to keep examining.
The more I look at it the more I fall in love with the face on the left and how dark tones under the chin, the nose, and the eyes suggest a face, yet the line where the cheeks would be melts away into the paint. Simply gorgeous

Love the emergence of the faces from the canvas the detailing is especially rich on the RH figure but the whole image is very good and the colourways are interesting if a little ghostly.

you are right, you come out exhausted of what you thought was a deep, everlasting feeling. in fact, it was a flame which dissapeared and left behind just ashes. your painting is amazing!
