Valentine's

Valentine’s is a piece that explores the contradiction between idealized love and the pain that often accompanies it. Using a vibrant palette of deep pinks, reds, and neon hues, the work depicts a female figure pierced by an arrow, a classic symbol of romantic love, but in this case, charged with drama and melancholy.
Her crystalline tears, accompanied by small floating elements such as winged creatures and suspended hearts, evoke a dreamlike universe where the adorable and the tragic coexist. The contrast between visual sweetness and emotional expression reflects the fragility of human feelings and the intensity with which affection, desire, and vulnerability are experienced.
Inspired by an Eastern-influenced aesthetic and the visual narrative of manga and emotional pop art, Valentine’s invites the viewer to look beyond the adorable surface to discover a story of longing, loss, and hope amidst the colorful chaos of love.

Artist's Inspiration

Her illustrations explore emotional fragility and the intensity of human feelings, using subtle combinations of textures, colors, and symbols. Her artistic universe oscillates between melancholy and reverie, creating introspective spaces where the ephemeral and the symbolic intertwine to provoke profound connections with the viewer.
