I delight in creating faces, and specifically the process of creating this painting was for me one of the challenges that I have enjoyed the most in recent months. Faces reflect, like no other part of the body, the infinite diversity of human nature. They are a reflection of the soul. That is why I have always felt captivated by face painting, showing that immense variety and infinite dissimilarity. Each of my faces is unique, exclusive. In this work I have been tempted by the challenge to capture two of the distinct facets of love. In my "Two of the Many Faces of Love" I was inspired by a dichotomous expression of this universal feeling. One of their faces, where less strident colors predominate, symbolizes the idyllic love between the couple, which has been idealized by visual artists, poets and musical composers of all time; that love where tenderness, generosity and the most complete sentimental dedication prevail. The other face, with stronger chromatic nuances, represents one of the other sides of love, that where sexual desire and the selfishness of one or both parties prevail, in the search, above all sentimental considerations, to satisfy the most primary desires of the flesh.
