José Molina, El amor en tiempos difíciles, screen printing, 58x58 cm, 2008

Screen printing by artist José Molina belonging to the series Sentimentos II, taken from the unique works Sentimentos, which investigates the most intimate feelings of every human being, in a whirlwind of sensations beyond our control. Our existence is made of seduction, voluntary slavery, wounds to the heart, deep sadness and bestial aggressiveness. Using an imagery typical of this artist who prefers surrealist and visionary elements, each character symbolizes the impetus of human nature.

Here Molina tells from his point of view love in our times, a couple becomes a single body and is forced into a single pair of jeans. The state of a couple and of lovers becomes a difficult condition to face, in a situation of economic and social difficulty like the one we live in today. The choice to create a couple and then a family dimension becomes a continuous challenge, as you can see from the looks of the two lovers.
