Refuge shows two bodies intertwined in an intimate embrace. Beyond the physical, this gesture speaks of care, belonging and need for company. The work does not idealize bodies: they are presented in a natural and real way, far from stereotypes, claiming the dignity of the human in all its diversity. The painting is built with layers of matter and color that evoke the skin and its emotions, while the dark background intensifies the light of the embrace. The result is a simple and powerful image at the same time: a private moment that opens up to the viewer as a universal experience, remembering that shared vulnerability can become strength.
