The powerful painting "Afraid" by the talented contemporary female artist Anna Dart depicts a couple in a romantic embrace.
The man is holding the woman in his arms, and she is lying on top of him with one leg draped over him. The man is wearing jeans, while the woman is bare and wearing winter boots. Despite the physical closeness of the couple, the woman's tensed arms and uncertain expression suggest that she is apprehensive about the intimacy between them.
The couple is depicted in profile, with their lips touching in a kiss. The man's hands are placed gently on the woman's back, suggesting that he is trying to comfort her and ease her fears. The plain dark background creates a vast, empty void that serves to emphasize the couple's emotional connection and the deep of woman´s worries of falling for someone. The artist's choice of medium and technique emphasizes the timelessness and universality of the emotions depicted in this precious painting.
