Clade - London

"Unveiled Emotions" Technical: Acrylic It is the transition from shyness to the declaration of the first feelings of love. The choice of colours symbolise the restraint before the unveiling of feelings. Thus, it changes from pink to red just as friendship develops into love. It is all gentleness to contrast with « With all my Love" that bursts open on a wonderful day.

"With all my Love" Technical:  Acrylic   This painting derives from the desire to give everything. The starting point was to work with the maximum of variations of the colour red to represent a mix of emotions that extend equally to love, affection, desire and madness. And since the feelings that make up this bouquet proved valuable, they were symbolised by the gilding. This playing with the light produced by the variants of gilding reinforces the sensation of fireworks one feels when touched by feelings of love. The gilding is dispersed to symbolise the explosion just as the different shades of orange accentuate the glowing edge of the fireworks. A warm and enveloping painting with a certain magic into which one wants to dive to make one´s declaration!

Dina - Barcelona

"Directions of love" Technical : Acrylic The directions of love is a dynamic composition in which the characters of a flaming red dominate the surface of the canvas. The bottom consists of a collage made with pieces of maps, train tickets, subway, bus or plane. It includes bus tickets to Italy and La Rochelle, a train ticket to go from Slatina, my home town in Romania, Bucharest. The bonding gives the impression of a single map showing cities like Venice, Las Vegas, Verona, Rome, Barcelona, Paris, Capri ... These are dream destinations where lovers go the whole earth. As for the cities of New York, Sydney, Tokyo, Marrakesh, La Rochelle and the palaces of the Taj Mahal, they draw the four corners of the world to suggest that all over the world can be a journey of love, which is can love.

"Love Cage" Technical: Acrylic The Physalis is a plant called "Love in a cage" in the vernacular. This name comes from the fact that the calyx expands and forms a Chinese lantern, which protects the fruit. It´s a pun that inspired me this piece. This is a situation reversed: the birds outside the cage while the lovers are on the inside. The couple can be interpreted as the fruit of Physalis. The male bird carries in its beak the plant to give to his sweetheart, as a sign of love for her, here you can see a real Physalis. The work does not speak of a love prisoner opened the door of the cage, a sign of positivism, evokes a love blossomed.

Aix-en-Provence : Félix Aberasturi

Series "My love for me ..."
Love ...? As many definitions as authors, that people in world history ...!
Love. Amor. Love. Amore. But what they share all these variations, these subjective and original versions, these ways to feel the love ...? Would not this feeling of being alone with the feeling? Our responsibility is to us and nobody else, not even the object of that love ... is something that happens in us, who grew up in us, which is part of our bodies and our soul ... Smiles, flowers, music, soft eyes, a letter, a thought ... We live, we allow ourselves to move beyond reason ... the weather becomes mild, grow our wings, the world (ours ) changes color: we´re in love! The characters are always alone, even at two. In some cases a contact is established, one took the leap, let the other do ...
... Want to dance? ... This is serious, Doctor? ... I love you to madness!
And in this spirit, sometimes shared (sometimes not ...), we feel alive, forever young, single, full ... and we saw it all inside of us, nobody can understand us, nobody can feel what´s hot in our hearts we are alone in the love ...!

Bordeaux : Sandro De Ponte

In the center of my work:  the man. The male side of each one is represented by the men, the female side by the women. I like to paint the couples, to underline the values like love and frindly.  I always tried to give to my painting much tenderness. The characters, turned towards us, look at us quite simply, as if they were going to judge us, us to strip and oblige us to be honest with ourselves. I paint with acrylic and with water. With water, I can create works with much texture. I particularly like to paint couple by using hot colors: because when we embrace, we feel safe, as taken refuge in a cave which protects us and heats us…  We fall down in childhood… When we embrace, we have, we entrust to the other which we do not want to never be separate… We want to stop.

Lille : Delphes

	"Love always" Technique: Mixed Nostalgia, retro images, we are in a period where all ages mix. The decor, buffet grandmother throne beside the chair super design ... we love the kitchen as much stew as granny sushi. And love? Undaunted, from generation to generation, my grandmother and my grandfather, my father and my mother, we, our children ... In life you always the best!
	"Dinner country" Technique: Mixed ... One of the recurring themes of my work, it is a very romantic scene, a sunset, small lights hanging from the trees, the countryside, more exactly in my area, ie say umbrella pines, cypresses and ... a pair of lovers who savor the magical moment. She is white, is it may be marriage, but about their love be born a little which in turn will love ...

Lyon : Valérie Depadova

	"Two Women" Technique: Mixed Two people in exchange on black women deep mystery, a confrontation like a duel, irrational, unreasonable. Inspired, high, straight, proud and stretched toward the sky, love, sharing so immense and so small in this infinite world of a thousand torments ...
	"Life is Beautiful" Technique: Mixed Love to talk about two, "life is beautiful" as a common inspiration, the look in the same direction on a red passion, the world for a few moments more beautiful and bigger .... What about ... believe it could last forever, together we are stronger ... your body against mine, I still and always share the same landscape ...

Paris 4th : Marta Rodilla

“Four seasons” Technique: mixed Magic and divine moment that nature gets resembles the silence of love. The corbel is the messenger of God and fact gift d´un heart has this mixed couple which represents the love without borders. I am fascinated by this bird with simple beauty, which I meet every year (in any season), when I walk my bitch behind the museum of Arles. The scene occurs in winter bus I´m very marked and filled with wonder by the large falls at snows in January 2010 in country d´Arles… The silence which gets the fall of snow and the soft white coat I compare it with the soft and marvellous silence of love… The woman makes offering d´un heart, is more timid to him (it´s a man) but fortunately main corbel thought has him…

"Eternal Love" Technique: Mixed Memories of the past, images of love, love dreams, yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever. The seller of dreams and love eternal sells postcards of couples in love, about 1900 maps were very common in the letters of lovers for the holidays ... as Valentine´s Day. The Merchant of postcards is one of the oldest professions in Paris. My market, I returned to the 21th century. I think the deepest sense of the human being is the same despite the changes, technology and time goes by. Wrapped in orange tones, she is thoughtful, awaiting the eternal love, strong and hard ... sometimes fragile, very fragile, like hanging on the end of a wire, which could fall off at any time and fly through the air ... and suddenly be part of the past.

Paris 6th : Lau Blou

	"The trunk of our memories " Technique: Mixed It is a large trunk in which these two characters are locked up all their memories of love, to preserve their innocence, their innocence. Two characters from youth to middle age, left both a wife and a young girl, the folds of her dress still twirling the time spent having fun. Near her man or this young man, powerful, elegant, they are all memories of their love hidden in the trunk. We can assume that their love is so strong that it managed to escape as a sign of courage to pursue their passion.
	"The gift of love" Technique: Mixed The story of an elegant man, right, showing all his power and authority, who will donate his love to a woman. Her voluptuous overshadowed by her lover, is desire, reveals his mind and little privacy, but knows to go cower in the depths of his being .. Him, just give him courage in this his feminine side, surrounded by jewels. It is thus revealed to his beloved. Maybe it starts at Risk? Whatever she has the charm and he does not know it yet but it will fall in love ... because she has pierced his heart.
	“Giddiness of the love” Technical : mixed Why does one say “to fall in love”? Because the love is a dangerous climbing? because to feel love for somebody means that one will fall into an unverifiable state? What more one climbs to the top of the feelings, more the fall is painful? And if these were precisely the risks which gave all adrenalin to this feeling and which returned it so extremely? Then of this desire for building a love always higher, as a building which will last a whole life and even beyond… was born our love which rose with the passing of years. Who come all up there, in the ECRIN of passion. The years passed, the life moves under our feet, the building formerly so solid shakes and our love is taken of giddiness. Comes then time to find a reinforcement to help our passion to protect our love forever.

Paris 18th : Patrick Rousseau

What can be told by painting can do without the words. Three elements, Paris, a couple, love… after, a storm of images, colors, situations which are set up all alone on the fabric, without the least effort. As a leader which sees playing its musicians without making a gesture, the colors are spread out over the pallet, mix and disentangled, seek themselves and seek.  A little red, white, ochre a key, a drop of orange… and after… the knife which comes to seek them, I observe them, that amuses me! What a pleasure! Is the love in front of the Tower Eiffel it beautiful, why? Because Paris it is the love! A public garden, a bench, a grid, a standard lamp, the reflection of the rain on the bitumen, two characters taken by the hand and hop! still another, on a bridge, the quays of the Seine, in Montmartre, it is Paris! It is the love!

Bénédicte Serre - Strasbourg

"Who seeks finds" Technique: Mixed A couple full of love and tenderness, her musician, expresses his feelings through his art, the melodious sound of the clarinet enchants the birds warm colors create a festive and harmonious. Him, attentive, a hand caressing the hair of his companion to the rhythm of music, the other is hosting a bird, symbol of peace and freedom.

"When the birds get involved" Technique: Mixed More playful vision of love: look, hesitate, to seduce, charm, cause ... few ingredients whose love life has witnessed a cat, a mere observer ... early spring, first leaves, first love .... Like the cat, I draw my inspiration from the scenes of life; ordinary or crazy, everything is an reason to recreate the image of emotions. Our life consists of sad or happy events, meetings and sharing. If everything is decorated with love, respect and humor, happiness is in our hands ... All my paintings tell a story or, yesterday or today, they have no age and speak to everyone, young and old for one purpose: to bring a touch of color and a wild desire to live in all of us.

Albena - Toulouse

On the two paintings you can see a couple, a man and a woman. The woman is the MUSE, the man makes him a serenade - it is in this way that I saw the children couple through my eyes, teenager. Au Clair de la Lune et On y va ! show us each one a couple happy, fusional, whose love transports them beyond our reality. The difference between the two tables is in the movement: With the moonlight a couple represents sitting well quietly because they are already well anchored in their love, in their common life which is a dream of each moment. For the other couple, the travel only comes to start, it is a splendid meeting, a beginning of fusional love which will continue for always. The moon and the stars represent a metaphor of the dreams and romanticism, the festive atmosphere of in love and also retranscribed my philosophy: “Art protects us from the reality which kills” (Nietzsche) - Art and love - because for me they are identical.
