About the artwork
With an abundance of multi-coloured hearts and white flowers, this piece, engulfed in a royal blue background, is emblematic of Coplu's signature style, reflecting the theme of love, peace and harmony the artist uses as majority of his inspiration. While a female figure and a child figure stands on the flower and heart filled island, the male figure is seen pushing the island from within the waters, perhaps reflective of Coplu's feelings towards his role as a father, man and husband, taking the responsibility of keeping the family afloat with love and beauty on his shoulders.
