Description

Presenting "My Secret Love," a captivating large-format original work by the internationally acclaimed artist Arbé (Ara Berberyan). Born in 1958, Arbé is celebrated for his ability to weave deep emotion into geometric and surrealist compositions. This piece is a quintessential example of his style, featuring a romantic, ethereal embrace set against a cosmic, textured background.

The artwork utilizes Arbé’s signature technique: rich oil pigments layered with hand-applied gold and silver leaf, creating a shimmering, multi-dimensional effect that changes with the light. The central figures—a woman in a vibrant magenta gown and a spectral male form adorned with Klimt-inspired patterns—are enveloped in a celestial halo of heavy impasto. The piece is housed in its original, high-quality gilt frame with a periwinkle fabric liner, perfectly accentuating the cool indigos and warm metallics of the painting.
