For their 20th anniversary, she wanted to do something special for her partner to celebrate their love for each other. Unbeknownst to her partner, she contacted me for a portrait painting. After choosing the reference photo, I got to work and when the painting was ready, she secretly collected it.

The colored spheres in the background of the painting refer to an image that is important to them: an illustration on the cover of his self-written book. Also, the blue spheres represent the masculine qualities of him and the red spheres represent the feminine qualities of her. Painting them together emphasizes their connection and interaction. And how fitting is this with the overall symbolism of the painting!

On the special day, her partner finally got to see the surprise. He couldn’t believe his eyes. He thinks it is beautifully painted and lifelike. The painting has a place in their house and symbolizes their love for each other.
