AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Nan Laar – “Safe Haven”

Two figures almost meld into one another. Not out of dependency, but out of trust. As if the outside world quiets for a moment and only the warmth of closeness remains.

This work is about safety. About the rare calm that arises when you no longer have to explain who you are. When someone doesn’t try to change you, save you, or understand you, but merely is there.

The loose brushstrokes and transparent floral forms give the painting a dreamy quality. The figures seem both present and fleeting, like a memory you want to hold on to because it feels so real.

An ode to softness. To connectedness. To the quiet strength of togetherness.

Dimensions: 82 x 60 cm
Medium: oil on canvas
Ready to hang: no, the painting is rolled and must be remounted by your local framer,
Note! The paintings are fresh from the studio and in oil paint, so the oil paint is not yet fully cured. Some caution is advised!
Signature: front side, also signed
Certificate
Year: 2025
Shipping: rolled in a tube

Shipping extra-large formats rolled is safer and more environmentally friendly than shipping ready-to-hang works. The canvas can be easily stretched on-site by a local framer.
