Platonic Love

$2,000.00

In this work, shapes, colors, and calligraphic gestures emerge not from premeditated design, but as direct expressions of my immediate emotional and psychological state. Each prliminary line is guided by the hand’s response to inner impulses, echoing the Surrealist pursuit of pure psychic automatism. This process is a kind of visual meditation—an act of surrender to the subconscious, where the artwork becomes a living record of the psyche in motion.

The title draws on the philosophical notion of a connection that transcends the physical and aspires toward the ideal. Here, abstract, flowing forms and the interplay of color and text serve as visual metaphors for the search for beauty, truth, and connection beyond the material. The work embodies Plato’s idea that true love is a striving toward the eternal and the perfect—a longing for something just out of reach, yet deeply felt.

In an era dominated by curated digital images and algorithmic feeds, a piece born of Automaticism stands as a testament to authenticity and vulnerability. It invites viewers to witness the raw, unedited psyche of the artist—a rare offering in a world of filters and edits. The theme of Platonic Love resonates powerfully today, in a time marked by both hyper-connectivity and profound loneliness. The artwork becomes a social mirror, reflecting our collective yearning for relationships that are meaningful, transcendent, and not merely transactional.

Whether displayed in public or private spaces, this piece serves as a focal point for dialogue about the nature of love, creativity, and the subconscious. It encourages viewers to slow down, reflect, and perhaps even access their own deeper selves.

By merging traditional calligraphic elements with contemporary abstraction, "Platonic Love" speaks to a global audience—bridging past and present, East and West, the personal and the universal. It is both an invitation and a challenge: to seek authenticity, to embrace vulnerability, and to strive for connection that transcends the ordinary.

This work comes with double raised mat, non-glare acrylic in a black wooden frame, finished with a backing sheet and bumpers; it is ready to hang. Free shipping. Framed size: 14” x 29”.

The work is done on moleskin paper allowing embossing to be done to give dimension to selected areas. Each embossed area is done by an experienced hand that learned through trials and error. Most shapes are consisted of 4 layers of ink, wax and acrylic paints.

The style is a push beyond Automatic drawing with a blend of Asemic script sharing a common root in concept.
