I WANT LOVE 3 (IWL 3) - 2004 -

I Want Love 3 is a work that pulses.On a square canvas, the acrylic vibrates, layers accumulate and dissipate, like waves crossing paths without ever merging. Here, the word “LOVE” is neither a slogan nor a certainty: it is tension, expectation, vibration. The composition evokes quantum uncertainty, where each element—color, line, fragment of form—exists in superposition, as if desire were everywhere and nowhere, already present and always missing.This painting does not seek to represent love, but to call it forth, to bring it into being through the very lack that founds it. The transparencies, the shifts from blur to sharpness, the light that breaks through or withdraws—all refer to the physics of the heart, to the subtle mechanics of human feeling.Even the writing, this injunction—*I WANT LOVE*—is not a request but a shockwave: the cry of a world seeking to come together, to vibrate as one, to survive in fragmentation.Like a quantum experiment, the painting remains open: what one sees depends on the viewer, the moment, the light, the silence. There is no final state, only possibilities, superpositions, echoes.I WANT LOVE 3 is a work of the fault line, of traversing light, of the vibration of desire as the driving force of all creation.

There are words we do not always dare to write.One morning, in front of a blank canvas, the word LOVE imposed itself on me like both an evidence and a wound, like a heartbeat impossible to silence. I let the gesture arise, let the color run, without seeking to explain, only to cross through.The village was still asleep. The studio resonated with that particular silence, made of waiting and absence, as if the entire world were holding its breath.I thought of light, of the superposition of moments, of the way desire never fixes itself, but ripples, pulses, divides, multiplies, disappears and returns.Painting I WANT LOVE 3 meant writing on the canvas the need for unity, the longing for contact, the certainty that lack is energy.Each layer added or erased opened a new possibility, each transparency let through an echo, a different vibration.I remembered quantum physics, the idea that everything can be here and elsewhere, present and absent, light and shadow, cry and silence.In the end, there was only this word, LOVE, fragile and blazing, and the shiver of not knowing whether it is a hope, a confession, or a call.

I WANT LOVE 3 is not an answer, but a living experiment, a beat suspended between two worlds, always searching for the point of balance—and perhaps, the birth of a feeling.
