The piece talks about unrequited love, taking as its starting point the lyrics of Vicente Fernández's songs.
The work is a digital drawing printed in risography technique. The drawing features a small cartoon heart in simple, flowing strokes, holding a silhouette of a rose drawn in whimsical, flowing black lines. The rose takes over the painting and stands tall on a pink background that is equally disinterested and free.
The risographic printing technique adds a subtle but interesting texture to the work, giving it a sense of depth and visual richness. The image as a whole is an exploration of power and beauty in simplicity, as well as an invitation to the viewer to appreciate the purity and freedom that can be found in everyday life.
The contrast between the loose, cartoonish figure of the heart and the elegant but defiant image of the rose creates an interesting tension in the work. Overall, this digitally drawn artwork is a tribute to the beauty of the simple and free, and an invitation to appreciate the strength and energy found in the humblest and most common things.
