I was just searching for love

I was just searching for love

I Was Just Searching for Love (2025) by Alex Kyah is an emotionally charged painting that navigates longing, illusion, and self-recognition. Executed in oil and pastels on canvas, the work combines expressive color with layered symbolism to reflect the fragile line between euphoria and heartbreak. The fragmented framing suggests both exposure and introspection, while the surrounding landscape evokes memory, desire, and solitude.

Through vibrant chromatic tension and embodied gesture, Kyah explores the ache of seeking validation in others—and the quiet revelation that love must first emerge from within. The piece becomes a tender confrontation with vulnerability, inviting viewers to witness themselves with compassion.
