Flames of Love is a portrayal of unconditional love, a soul connection where one sees itself in another, an unimaginable magnetic pull, peace and joy while the pain of earning for the loved one burns everything in your soul and being till the only thing that remains is oneness. This painting is inspired by Rumi.

The things that burn in this scenario are attachments, the need for belongings, old beliefs, need for validation, characteristics and personas, everything that we identify with and depend on, everything that once mattered becomes inconsequential. There will be only one thing as the focus of your gaze, and you simply cannot see anything else. The intense gaze of the swan is to capture this intensity, regardless of the other swan.
