About this artwork
In this piece, I explored the delicate tension between protection and control. Through figurative realism infused with surreal undertones, I aimed to evoke deep emotions of vulnerability and power. The oil medium allowed me to blend shadows and light, creating an intimate, almost haunting atmosphere. This painting invites viewers to feel the complexity of human connection, adding thought-provoking energy to any space.

Patrick Vertenten (1964, Sint-Gillis-Waas, Belgium) is an artist who paints from the heart. Marked by the use of diffused light and brushstrokes—reminiscent of shallow focus in cinematography—the atmosphere of the Belgian artist’s oeuvre is one of nostalgia and melancholia. Inspired by film, literature, poetry, and music, Vertenten recuperates found imagery from various sources before transforming them into a brand-new entity, examining the bittersweetness of humanity and life in general; loneliness, weakness, intimacy, desire, and Sehnsucht. Moved by the beauty of the picture, the viewer is invited to explore the image in its new context, possibly striking a nerve or two, in which the dark tones of the picture resonate with the burden of life, reviving in the contrast of the symbolic and painterly highlights.
