Love does not live here
Love Does Not Live Here (2024) by Alex Kyah is a vivid, symbolic portrait of depression and the slow return toward inner light. Painted in oil and pastels on linen, the work places the figure within a storm of saturated color—thunderclouds, rain, and floating icons of love and fear—suggesting an emotional landscape that is both overwhelming and strangely still.
Rather than dramatizing despair, Kyah frames it as a space of survival: a moment of self-holding, reflection, and recalibration. The composition reads like an inner map, where calm becomes protection and the heart becomes a compass. Through expressive color and intimate gesture, the painting speaks to loneliness, resilience, and the gradual rebuilding of meaning.
