Les Amants. Magritte

I'm sitting in my bedroom in Floris hotel, Brussels. I've just been to the Magritte Museum and I fell in love with his masterpieces. Les Amants is maybe my favourite one. It makes me think about our love relationships: the things we'll never say, the secrets, how we'll never know our partner. How many things we would like to know? How many things we would like to say? This picture represents all these questions. But deeply, the real meaning is that it's impossible to love forever someone. Love is something human, transitory; the veil on the faces means this impossibility. Love is a mistery that everybody wants to unveil. Magritte was the master of this kind of representations, the Surrealism: he could express reality and its ambiguity through symbolism and we can reflect ourselves and our feelings into his works. I advise you to admire Les Amants listening to "Good Love" by Bat For Lashes. Now I feel this way, in Brussels. "Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see." Magritte
