The painting "L'amour non imaginaire" (translated as "Love not imaginary") by the female artist Anna Dart tells a story of a young man who is intently gazing ahead, perhaps into someone he loves.
The background is a dynamic composition of watercolor strokes with a flowing movement which gives a sense of chaos and fluidity. The contrast between the hyperrealism of the still character and the abstraction of the all-moving background creates an emotional tension.
The title of the painting hints that the love depicted is merely a figment of imagination. Anna Dart created this piece in her early 20s, possibly as a way of understanding her own reality. Through this piece, she captures a fleeting emotion within an eternal frame of the human heart.
"L'amour non imaginaire" is universal and beautiful and stands ready to transform and uplift the spaces it adorns.
