Nan Laar - Waar Aanraking Rust Wordt

In this painting, Nan Laar captures a moment of gentle intimacy, where closeness is not an explicit gesture but a shared state of being. Two figures are close together; the touch is tender and subdued, as if they are momentarily stepping outside of time together.

The female figure is at the center: her face open, her posture relaxed and receptive. The presence of the other is felt without becoming dominant, a closeness that offers calm rather than tension. Blooming branches and delicate flowers intertwine through the image, reinforcing the sense of vulnerability and transience.

Nan Laar works with expressive, visible brushstrokes and transparent layers that balance between figuration and looseness. The palette of warm skin tones, earthy browns, and soft accents of white and orange gives the work an intimate, almost tangible atmosphere. The paint remains present, allowing the painting to breathe and move.

The work is about longing without haste, about connectedness without possession.
A still, poetic painting that invites slowing down and feeling, characteristic of the emotionally layered oeuvre of Nan Laar.
