Drawn to me

This work is part of the Bearded Men series, a series of portraits of – who would have thought! – men featuring (a lot of) facial hair. It is also a study of how a beard can symbolize many things – manhood, growth, wisdom, longing… Furthermore, the series shows stations of a relationship in a surrealisticly symbolic way.

Some thoughts about the piece:

• visual representation of the attraction between two humans
• drawn thought lines from the man to the heart of his partner
• the heart as the vis-à-vis
• the art admirer is the heart

The journey of the piece:
