Original Painting | Heart Strings

by Gabriella Lopardo

This is my favorite piece I’ve created so far. There are multiple layers — in texture, paint, emotion, and depth — all representing the heart and how it exists as a living, breathing force within us. It feels tied together yet raw, like something still pulsing. When I look at it, I feel movement. The grooves, the flowing lines, the way everything blends in what first appears messy and undone. But when you step back, it makes sense. It becomes whole. To me, it mirrors the human heart — complex, layered, imperfect up close, yet beautifully unified when seen in its entirety.
