The paintings in “Amore: An Ode to Love” are an amalgamation of personages representing the beloved or the lover, the requited and the unrequited. Poems have inspired each of the four paintings in this series.
William Shakespeare’s “fair youth” and “dark lady” found in “Sonnet 40: Take all my loves, my love, yea, take them all” create an imagery full of symbolism, implying secrets, jealousies, and longing.
