“Piece of heArt” series.
We use Heart in a metaphorical way to describe our feelings: “listen to you heart”, “eat your heart out”, “have a heart”...
A heart could be stolen, broken or followed. We “heart” something that we like on social media. It is probably the most objectified organ of the human body, yet the heart is real, we all have one.
The true shape of it is much more complex and exciting, than it’s symbolic representation. As are our true feelings.
With this series of paintings I express my “state of heart” during various periods in life. The heart itself represents the subconscious side and feelings, whereas the colourful mosaic-like background represents the conscious side, an attempt to bring pieces together.

In this work I’ve expressed the development of my personal life, the joy of being in a new trustworthy relationship and the struggle of letting the past go.
