As mentioned in the description of the painting 'Minotaur', a fascination with the Romantics always held a keen interest with me. Especially its notion of the 'Sublime' with its unsettling power.

This painting is called 'Lovers (XL)'. We see two figures engaged in a intimate situation. One seems to be more submissive, while the other touches the inside of her mouth she holds on to him/her. The whole scene seems to represent the intimate process where love, deep emotions, pain and suffering, and not to forget, complete trust, transforms both lovers and leads them to higher stages of personal growth where they find themselves fully awakened by the process of being reborn.
