Original artwork description:

The painting They are one together is an exploration of human intimacy, painted in oil on canvas. The composition shows a fluid entanglement of human forms in sumptuous hues of red, gold, and earthy tones. The artist captures the idea of individual bodies merging into a single, indistinguishable physical and emotional entity, where self and other become intertwined.
At first glance, it is difficult to discern where one figure ends and another begins, and even the painter can’t answer that question. The limbs, torsos, and appendages melt into one another in an almost dreamlike fashion. Van Dijk deliberately blurs the boundaries between bodies, emphasizing the dissolution of individuality that can occur in moments of profound closeness. The inspiration behind the work is encapsulated in its extended conceptual title: They are one person, they are two alone, they are free together, they are for each other. This poetic phrase (coming from contemporary music) underscores the duality and complexity of intimacy, where unity does not negate individuality but instead creates a dynamic interplay between freedom and surrender.

Full title 'They are one person, they are two alone, they are free together, they are for each other'. From the series 'Tenderness is radical'.
