By Magritte: The Kiss with Closed Eyes
By Magritte: The Kiss with Closed Eyes
An intimate surrealist homage.
“By Magritte: The Kiss with Closed Eyes” is an original oil painting created in 2006. The work establishes a visual dialogue with historical Surrealism, reinterpreting the iconic theme of blindness not as an obstacle, but as a form of emotional fusion. The figures, absorbed in their closeness, evoke a suspended and introspective intimacy. The compact format enhances the sense of concentration and poetic silence, while the painted frame—executed by the artist in matching tones—dissolves the boundary between artwork and support, transforming the piece into a single, indivisible object.

Artwork Description
This work enters into a conscious dialogue with historical Surrealism. Rather than replicating Magritte’s imagery, the artist reinterprets the blindness of the lovers as an emotional union, conveyed through colour and material presence rather than through symbolic barriers.
The oil technique is dense and tactile, giving the surface a strong physicality that reinforces the intimacy of the scene. Brushstrokes remain visible, contributing to a sense of closeness and human warmth.
A defining element of the artwork is its frame, painted by the artist herself using the same chromatic tones as the painting. This choice dissolves the separation between artwork and frame, transforming the piece into a unified and indivisible object.
