1993 Contemplative Couple in Blue and Red

In this artwork, we see a stylized depiction of two individuals sitting closely together on what appears to be the armrests of an automobile. The person with their back facing us is dressed in blue attire, featuring intricate details that highlight folds in clothing or upholstery. This individual's head rests against the vehicle window, suggesting deep thought or introspection.

The second figure has a more feminine appearance, characterized by flowing hair and large earrings, which suggests they may be female. They are wearing an earring with what appears to be a pearl drop design and their hand is gently placed on top of the other person's armrest. Their gaze seems directed towards something outside of this frame.

The background consists primarily of bold colors: red for one side and blue for another, creating a striking contrast that draws attention to the central figures. The use of vibrant hues adds an emotional intensity to the scene, possibly indicating passion or excitement underlying their contemplation.

This artwork is likely from a publication given its stylized nature and clear delineation of two subjects in what appears to be a shared space.

1974 A Moment of Reflection

"In this painting, a man and woman share a moment in a modern living room.
The man is engrossed in the photo of a young boy placed on a stand.
The woman sits comfortably with her legs crossed, observing the man's interest in the photo.
They are both seated on a sleek, low-to-the-ground couch, which contrasts with their attire.
The room is well-lit and features contemporary furniture and decor.
The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation and shared history."

Yesterday marked the 12y anniversary of me moving to the US. Wow… It’s been quite a ride so far, and I bet there is more to come.

Do I miss “the old country”? Well, not that much to be honest, but I do miss some of the people. Very, very much.
