Yiannis Moralis rendered these figures in oil paint with elegant simplification. See how the intertwining of bodies is presented through an interplay of white, brown, and black. Notice the archetypal embrace, a motif echoing across epochs, from ancient Greek sculptures to Klimt's gilded lovers. Here, the figures are abstracted, yet their connection remains palpable, speaking to our shared human experiences. This embracing gesture, prevalent in funerary art, represents not only the connection between two individuals, but a universal, almost primal yearning for unity. The simplification of form, reducing figures to near-geometric shapes, reflects a Modernist interpretation of classical ideals. This echoes the psychological concept of ‘Gestalt’ - our minds fill in the gaps to perceive the whole, suggesting that the emotional power of art lies not in precise representation, but in its ability to trigger our innate understanding of form and connection. The emotional resonance persists, despite the abstraction, showing how symbols, like recurring dreams, resurface and evolve, forever imprinted in our collective consciousness.
