More about this artwork

The painting portrays two faces, one of a man and the other of a woman, depicted in vibrant, contrasting colors, both caught in an expression of ecstatic joy. Their heads are tilted back slightly, suggesting a moment of laughter or exuberance. The man's face is painted with warm tones, primarily oranges and yellows, highlighting the contours of his features which are set against the dark background, capturing a sense of depth and intimacy. His eyes are closed, enhancing the feeling of immersion in the moment.The woman's face contrasts sharply with the man's, rendered in cool tones of blues and greys, yet her lips stand out in a striking red, matching the emotional intensity shown by her companion. Her eyes are also closed, and her wet, tousled hair suggests either a dynamic movement or perhaps the aftermath of a joyous event, like being caught in the rain.Both faces are close together, their expressions and the intense colors suggesting a shared moment of uninhibited joy. The dynamic strokes and the chiaroscuro technique used imbue the scene with a lively energy, almost palpable, as if the viewer can hear their laughter echoing through the canvas. The overall mood is infectious, capturing a snapshot of human connection and the universal experience of joy.

Artist

Linas' most favorite object to portray is a woman.

He often uses pastels, their softness reveals the outer beauty and gentleness and leaves the inner world in secret. This is why you never know who she is. Is she passionate? Does she like the scent of jasmines? What she dreams about? Is she jealous? Who is she dressing up for? Is she really sad or just pretending? What is she hiding? Is she at least real or just an illusion? 

This is the intrique of Linas' works all these questions are left for the viewer to answer.
