“I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God chooses,
I shall but love thee better after death.”
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Taking the sweetness of his earnest affections, and transforming it into a delicate lotus, with a boldness of heart and softness of demeanor, the hero approaches his beloved, promising his heart and love to her in this world and beyond. Using vibrant shades of acrylic, Samir Sarkar brings the beauty of a heart in love to his canvas. Lotuses, as the symbols of purity and an offering of love, adorn the painting beautifully while being comparable to the lotus-eyed heroine, who stands in front of the hero, coyly, while delicately touching the hand of her beloved, as a sign of acceptance of the proposal.
Inspired by details of Egyptian art, Sarkar gives his subjects Pajamas, long hats and elongated facial features, softened by a perfect balance of tones and expressions. The degree of detailing and aesthetic richness can be seen in the hero's hat, on which imagery appears, depicting himself and his lover, embracing each other warmly. Creating an enchantingly romantic dreamscape for the onlooker, this acrylic on canvas is a visual poetry on the beauty of the first expression of love.
