Date in heaven | Oil painting on canvas

Description

Date in Heaven
Oil on canvas, 40 × 30 cm

The painting presents a nude man standing in an opulent, palace-like interior filled with golden accents, draped curtains and ornate furniture. His muscular body dominates the foreground, rendered with vibrant, expressive brushwork that contrasts with the airy, luminous atmosphere behind him. The setting feels both sumptuous and softly unreal, as if suspended in a dreamlike calm.

Psychologically, the figure combines strength with vulnerability. His direct gaze and complete nudity suggest an intimate offering, a moment in which he allows himself to be seen without defence. The luxurious surroundings serve as an emotional counter-space: a kind of personal heaven where desire, pride and fragility coexist freely. The title reinforces this sense of idealised encounter, as though the scene captures a moment of pure acceptance.

Part of the Archaic series, the painting explores the human body as a timeless subject, echoing both classical traditions and contemporary expression. Through bold colour and textured brushwork, Arturo Laime reclaims the male figure as a central motif in fine art.
