Agape - The fruit of spirit
ACRYLIC ON CANVAS 90X150CM
Agape a word that sums an emotion so intense and pure that countless books and mythologies have been written in its honour. The word originates from 17th century Greece and its literal translation is universal love. A love unbound by any materialistic gain or worldly conditions. It transcends any restrictions, barriers or boundaries that one usually faces in their pursuit of happiness and contentment. This love is truly expressed when one devotes themselves to kindness, generosity and the betterment of other people while expecting nothing in return.
In this oeuvre, a woman finds herself enraptured by Agape with her eyes closed and wings unfurled. We find her in an intimate moment as she gives into her devotion to this emotion that comes with no terms or constraints. She is free. She is free like the dove that we see mid-flight, a bird that symbolizes romantic love in Greek mythology due its association with Aphrodite, the goddess of love. This canvas artwork is an ode to that emotion and welcomes us to give it a try.
