The first sight | Oil painting on canvas

Description

The First Sight
Oil on canvas, 50 × 70 cm

Set in the picturesque town of Gengenbach, this painting captures a fleeting yet powerful moment — the instant of emotional recognition that comes with love at first sight. The woman’s gaze is calm but expectant, her thoughts mirrored in the reflections on her glasses, where a king of hearts appear. Subtle yet symbolic, this detail suggests that she has found that special one, transforming a quiet street scene into a poetic meditation on affection, desire and destiny.

Rendered in rich, harmonious colours, the work reveals Laime’s sensitivity to atmosphere and inner emotion. The brushwork balances precision and softness, enhancing the play of light that bathes the subject in warmth. The composition feels both cinematic and intimate, inviting the viewer to share the vulnerability of that first, transformative encounter.

Part of Tales of the Black Forest, the painting weaves together everyday experience and mythic resonance, exploring the ways in which love — like the landscape itself — can appear suddenly and change everything.
