About the artwork
In a magical flowery world, a family of four stands underneath a canopy of delicate flowers and colourful heart shapes. The figures, depicted in Coplu’s signature whimsical style, are enchanted by the beautiful yet highly untypical sunset, a sun in a heart-like shape descending on the horizon and painting it shades of pink and red. The only figure that is not gazing at the heart-shaped sun is entranced by another activity – watering a delicate, yet strong white flower – with a multitude of little hearts instead of water. Everything in this piece is magical, dream-like and unusual. Just like children engaged in play, Coplu reminds us of the joys of dreams and fantasies, which take us away from our daily worries into a wonderful world of harmony and happiness.
