AMORE (2024) Original Watercolour by Kristina Mallen

In this work, I aimed to capture the essence of a kiss as a symbol of passion and love, using elements of pop art and minimalism. The central focus on the abstract red lips of two women kissing, conveying sensuality and tenderness, is highlighted by the contrast of black lines and a white background.

The simple contours of the women’s faces and lips allow the viewer to focus on the moment of intimacy and love, avoiding unnecessary detail, which adds intrigue and elegance to the piece. The inscription “Amore” between the passionately kissing lips introduces a poetic touch, enhancing the emotional intensity of the moment.

This work is part of my exploration of erotic art, where sensuality and femininity are expressed through simplicity of form, maintaining depth and emotional impact.
