Love, Life forever

Visual Description

A woman with short dark hair, pink cat-eye glasses, sparkling earrings and mesh fabric at her neck and shoulders looks straight out of the picture. The light, pastel background is covered with stencil patterns, zebras, flowers, stars and lettering such as “love” and “Every day is what you make.”

Artistic Interpretation

The picture is a declaration: joy in life as a conscious choice. The fragments of text work like mantras, and the woman as their ambassador—relaxed, stylish and with a wink.

Art-Historical Context

Graf combines classically painted portraiture with the strategies of Pop Art and the stencil art of street art. Sprayed patterns and lettering wrap around the face like layers of urban surfaces.

Exclusivity

Part of a trilogy in the same format (80 × 80 cm) with “She is not for you” and “Memories always.” The works share technique and visual language and work individually as well as a set.

Collector Value

A positive, communicative work for spaces with an audience: agencies, boutiques, salons, hotels and modern living spaces. As a trilogy, the three pictures form a striking wall group.
