Love Inspires Love

In this painting, Capicotto captures a tender moment between a woman sat next to a little blonde girl who is playing the piano. The figures, though abstracted, are clear and tell a quiet story, conveying themes of intimacy and familial love. Skilfully, Capicotto has used expressive brushwork and thick impasto to add texture and interest to the painting. Rather than strict realism, the messy and layered brushstrokes evoke movement and emotion. Capicotto utilises vibrant hues of blue, yellow and pink – giving this piece many points of interest, while also still drawing attention to the main subject. With so much to notice in this painting, you can never get bored looking at it.
