I hate to admit that I still long to be found like this... (Read more below)
Painting "Found"
Creator: Mister Muse - Male Art Gallery
Year: 2026
⚜ Behind the concept:
When I look at this work, I immediately take on the role of the dark haired one. Feeling his relief of someone coming for him. As if the other one stormed into the raging river to end all the loneliness and sadness that was there without him.
And although the surroundings are not the worst, they do not hold the warmth of another at his side.
It perfectly captivates an union forming. A longing I wanted to let out. Because I long to be found.
⚜ Behind the work:
It took me quiet some time to get the expressions right. The dark haired one, relaxing now that his love is declaring his devotion through his physical touch.
The ginger haired one pressing his body against the other as if he was afraid to never found the one he loves. And now that he has, he won't leave anymore.
A thousands stories can be told on how these young men ended up like this. Maybe they were seperated by duty or society in general.
Maybe they thought they had lost the one thing everybody longs for the most; true love, and now that suddenly the gods, or fate, or personal conviction, shaped a window, they took it.
Apart from the figures I paid particular attention to the way the light falls. It comes from the side of the 'saving' ginger haired one.
As if his action was backed by the universe.
Or to indicate that he is the saviour of his beloved.
And yet, because of that direction, the dark haired one is spotlighted, easily seen as if the light is now falling on him, that his prayers are being answered.
