Title: Attachment
Oil on canvas
2003
By Harj
I would like to dedicate this post to my son Jensen Bensen Mensen : )
My interpretation
This is my interpretation and I would love to know how you understand it. Please don’t let my examination over power your investigation of my artwork.
Two individuals needing each other sharing life but knowing there will be a seperation. Keeping your self fighting on to the struggles of life.
Holding on to the things you treasure but knowing it’s always slipping away. Holding on to your understanding of the world and changing when truth comes.
Valuing life and learning we are in the same boat, we are all vulnerable but strong.
Dear Steemians
Thank you again on this discovery into human action, gaining a better glimpse into choices we make.
I hope you enjoy my art and PLEASE I would love to know your interpretation of this painting moreover it will give us all a better understanding.
Thank you for your kind support
With love
Harj x x x
The opening of a door pulling apart the one from the other. Each shape feels unfolded as if letting go of the things that hold you back from enjoying the connection. Leaving you open and vulnerable to the truth of love.
This is what I see @harj
OK. So I read the title and went to take a look. I want to give you honest feedback and if I read your interpretation first I could be influenced.
I did not see attachment at all, except for the paint on canvas. I like the painting, would love to have it in my living room, but had a really hard time with the name.
But there it is, isn't it? Top, near center. The point of exchange, the attachment. I didn't even see it until I read your description.
Thank you for another wonderful post.
ahhh : ) big Tom Im glad you noticed some attachment and thank you for you kind words x

If we can all examine Art at that deep level of contemplation it requires to understand its beauty and use that critical interpretation when we deal with our fellow man...I think the world might be a better place. Good job Harj!
aww thats great of you to say dadup and I do love the world as is too ! : ) #loveart
good job of bring out inner thoughts, an assessing of moods that never stay the same even in a swirl of deep colors, my friend
thank you johnnyray! I like your kind words on the brush strokes x

Great work @harj. Keep the good work posting and amaze the steemians.
Thumbs up.
awww thank you artlovers I love your stuff too bro : )
The abstract theme is so well portrayed... Very good job
hey One thank you yes I do like the attachment of feelings : )
The title fits to your painting... It gives the beholder who ever sees it as two individuals together bound by mutual love and deep feeling. As time goes by...even if separated , you´re still connected in thoughts.
awww thank you mers thats beautiful and how I see my artwork x xx x
Hi @harj, I'm afraid I'm lost in all the different images. Some of them seem to be B&W renderings of the one at the top, then there are what appear to be close ups of segments, but then they don't seem to match,
If I were you, I'd simplify this, take out some of the clutter so there are less images for us to look at and 'interpret'.
I'm not much on abstract art, as you might guess, but in general, I like the feel of what I believe is the central image.
hey Jerry yes I see your point I will in future reduce the artwork and to one art per post or just the same work less confussing thanks for feedback : )
You're welcome, and I did give you an upvote, btw ♥
thank you jerry
Jerry congrats you are now VIP my followers have just gone up from 24 to 25 : )

I really like your interpretation very simple yet powerful like my art! thank you Loren x x x x

I think life is of two sides, irrespective of our flaws we can still work together to achieve a goal or two.
yes I agree with you we need to see which one is right as one is wrong, evidence shall prevail and both win!
Great post
thank you dilsa good to see your back I was going to whats app you today! your followers have missed you! try and post every day!
Okay thanks, will do
Interesting artwork.. And some deep and very beautiful thoughts also!
Hey.. That picture of you with your kid is great! Can I use that one for the artwork for the contest instead of the other one you gave me? I like how you both have great natural smiles going on there!
Yes sounds perfect I can email you or if you can take from here great yourself bro
This is interesting ! It reminds me of a stage curtain ( maybe because I was an actress in the past :) ,don't know ). It seems to me that on the other side of the curtain there are different sources of light. With one side of the stage is a bright and passionate light from the lamp on the ceiling or high street lamp. On the other hand it is not a bright table lamp with soft light. But still , I think this curtain of two very different halves will open and we will see the essence,we will see something real,something hidden deep inside ... :) this is my opinion,my interpretation
wow I really like it happyolly, yes life is like that, at the start its as if the information is missing but you have to keep waiting and moving forward and you hope you discover somthing #discoveryprocess : )
yes , i agree :)
Happyolly congrats you are now VIP my followers have just gone up from 24 to 25 : )
A shame we do not see it full page. I think it would give a better insight. I look at the red and black painting, I see a big concentration in both middles like together but split in colour. I always try to look how I would feel my self when i would paint something likewise. When I would paint this I think I would be in a struggle with myself. A loving very powerfull positive emotion towards something in my head, gets its weight in negativity back. It is holding balance. I like it as a drawing for a libra state of mind. I hope I made it a bit clear?
yes your very clear Janine : ) I think we are both very similar we both like a strong and extreme view point as there is truth in that you know where you stand at one edge. Yes I see a struggle which is in a balance. between two in a relationship or just in ones mind fighting to maintain sanity all the time. #equilibrium
I think that when there is a struggle in your self, you find balance while painting. :-)
awww thank you Janine I have not painted for ages, I needed to get a real job lol : ) this painting I did in 2003
I am no artist :-) but I have works from every year hahaha, only most of the times not finished. My last one is painting faces and body forms, and I tried to let them look like friends, but since I did it half did divorce or separated. So it is in the corner of my room and there it will stay for a while.
such powerful art...I see the meeting of light & dark. very much the opening of a passageway, a means to accept both in one's life - a balance. Great work & thank you for sharing with us. i look forward to more from you :)
thank you ink yes somtimes the best is achieved by being prudent and disaplined with a deep insight and is how it is not how you wish it to be thank you Ink #truthisevidencebased
beautiful paintings! @harj
thank you Isold : ) x
Wow! really loved it! It's really insteresting your abstract art. Keep doing it.
Greetings from Venezuela. xoxo.
awww thank you so much Milanun x x x
Hi Harj, that's a nice painting and it's great to see where you got your inspiration from. To me (and I'm no expert), this painting represents two worlds or lives colliding, a harmony between them and darkness that is ahead of them which from reading your explanation - probably is that separation. Great work!
awww thank you ingaaa love you understanding of two worlds coming together and faceing the good times and bad. #individualfreedomisharmony
No problem, let me know when you paint some more! :-)
awww yes : ) x I do art once a week, yes sounds good! what you think of Steemit ? Have you been to Birmingham ?
Yes I have, once for work. And Steemit is great - just wish I had more hours in the day! :-)
lol I know it takes so much time! : ) hardwork really x
Ingaaa congrats you are now VIP my followers have just gone up from 24 to 25 : )
Haha great to hear! Thanks for following :-)
My first instinct was light vs dark... I see the right as the sky and the left as below, an intimate connection of well-roundedness, one needs the other to balance the differences. <3
Hi Heart thank you ! A balance in a unbalanced universe. What a wonderful trick. I struggle with the that one X X X
Nice..
thank you maulana
