acrylic and graphite on vintage book
(ed. Carles Soldevila,1926 & 1937)

Edited collection of love letters written by historical figures / famous lovers throughout the ages. The phrases of each piece correspond to passionate excerpts from each letter, the text partially obscured by paint ground.

Every line of this letter,
is still present in my memory.

I planned to write to you with joy,
and now I do it with anguish and tears.

I'm alone and I cry;
but I leave happy, knowing nothing can separate our hearts.

Yes, I must resist my cruel torments,
and prolong the course of my existence for so long...

I do not know if love is the greatest of passions,
but for me, it is voluntary, potent, irresistible.

We wait with impatience.
Yes, with a love that is profound and most tender.

I will return. I think only that I will express all my tenderness,
all my love, all my unalterable devotion.

I can not live without you.
That is all.
