amandyne steropês - Étreinte Interdit

“Forbidden Embrace” captures a suspended moment: the kiss of two women, held in a soft tension between surrender and intensity.

Done in ink in the early years of my creative work, this piece marks the birth of an instinctive and deeply emotional artistic language. The lines are both free and precise, letting the ink trace a graphic choreography where each stroke suggests more than it shows.

Faces draw nearer, glimpse each other, blend almost into one another. The space between the lines becomes silence, breath, desire. The minimalism of the drawing gives full force to the moment: a love at once fragile, daring, and universal.

This piece embodies the meeting of romanticism and modernity, between the delicacy of the gesture and the power of feeling. It speaks of freedom, tenderness, and courage—the courage to love fully.

It is the sketch, the outline of one of my paintings whose creation immediately sparked strong enthusiasm, touching viewers with its apparent simplicity and the emotional depth it radiates.

Each ink stroke carries the energy of the moment it was laid down: spontaneous, alive, irreversible. This is what makes this canvas absolutely unique.
