January 2025, Oil on canvas, 80x80cm

This is the fourth pâinting in my Jessica series, exploring the dynamics of relationships: courtship, rejection, attraction, conflict, discussion, betrayal, love, and sorrow.

The introduction of Tintin is an ironic reference, an alternative visual language that adds flavor to Jessica and her adventures.

“A man who is accustomed to getting what he wants—or is it the other way around? Who holds the leash, and who is in charge of whom? With Tintin, Snowy is unconditionally loyal; in real life, things are more complex. It is up to the viewer’s personal interpretation.
