This painting was inspired by a conversation I had with a close friend of mine, Luna about giving all of your love to a person who doesn’t have the capacity to receive and appreciate it. It can make you try to give less love, but that would hurt even more. When your love overflows from within, it attracts people who don’t know what to do with it. So instead of pouring all of yourself to a person who simply can’t take it, pour it into people who reuse it to pour it all back to you.

This piece is a part 1/2 of a series called “Tie rakkauteen” - Road to love
