Vincenzo Raimondo - Aspettando

Oil painting on canvas 60x90 cm

This work addresses the universal theme of the relationship between man and woman through a symbolic and emotional language. The composition is dominated by the visual dialogue between two seemingly opposing elements: the female figure, small and light, and the male hands, large and present.
The woman, although depicted in a reduced scale, is portrayed in her complete essence: not fragile, but fully a woman.
The relationship between proportions is not hierarchical, but harmonious: strength does not overshadow delicacy, but supports it. Man and woman define themselves mutually, finding meaning only in the relationship that unites them. The work thus becomes a visual metaphor of romantic understanding, conceived as a balance between presence and freedom, between protection and respect.

The night background, crossed by water reflections and a suspended moon, enhances the sense of intimacy and emotional silence. It is more of a mental space than a physical one, a place where dialogue is not made of words but of presence, trust, and listening.

Waiting thus becomes the time of understanding, that fragile space where two beings recognize each other without the need to possess.
