Echoes of Romance is an abstract love art print by Paola Minekov, painted as a diptych and sold as two panels together. Two contrasting figures face away from each other in a cold monochrome of icy blues, greys and white, one with a hand raised to her hat, the other with her head bowed.
“Lack of communication between lovers leads to power-play, manipulation and pain. What interests me is the roles people then assume, their intricate psychological reactions to each other and to their troubled relationships. I’ve chosen a cold monochrome tonality to depict silence and the resulting emotional distance between two contrasting, disintegrating figures,” says Paola Minekov about this piece.
Flowing lines run through both compositions, connecting them and describing the delicate emotions of the portrayed archetypes. This melancholic piece exudes a certain tranquility, inspiring the viewer to contemplate the possible romantic complications. Embracing and reliving these emotions brings the final catharsis, both to the protagonists and to the viewers alike.
Romantic abstract portrait wall art for a bedroom or living room, and a thoughtful gift for a couple.
