"The Kiss" XL Print

Story Behind the Painting

‘The Kiss’ is used to show a powerful dynamic within a relationship. Relationships are very often at the core of our experiences of life, and we are moulded by how these relationships affect us.

In this painting, the woman has her hand on the man’s face, depicting understanding, support, and love. It shows that behind this man is a woman who believes in him and strengthens him. If he had his hand on her face, it could be interpreted as controlling or violent and could create a different balance of power.

The strength lies in her love. Both have their eyes closed, making their kiss a private moment, unaware of the world around them. His face, slightly in the foreground, evens out the dynamic so that her hand does not become domineering but a gentle, loving support.
