This painting was done for a family member of mine who is looking for the perfect man. In Maori culture, the blue swirl I've painted in the middle of the painting symbolizes the joining of two souls for eternity, and that even if they are separated for a length of time, fate will always bring them back together. It basically tells that the strength of love and friendship will last forever.
The person I painted this for also has a love for travel, and she always comments on how South America had the most impact on her life. So I added some Aztec inspired 'Koru' or fern fronds that symbolize new life, growth, strength and peace.
A little bit cheesy I know, but she's into that kind of stuff so why not humor her :)
Au revoir xx
