Linocut with 4 color variations

The passion of lovers' embrace throughout all time is reinvented in this linocut artwork with four color variations, limited to a print run of 25 copies each, by Cuban artist Niurka Bou. The enigma of love, with the universe of dreams presided over by the moon, is portrayed with a mix of sensuality in the voluptuousness of the couple's surrender, and innocence in the almost naive representation of the figures, chosen by the artist to emphasize and repeat the magic of the unique moment of a kiss.
