The couple relationships are treated by Gino Rubert with irony, who composes scenes loaded with a playful eroticism but that behind the apparent naivety always latent disturbing enigmas. In the female embrace, the woman sometimes sprouts more arms than necessary, reminding us of Hindu goddesses or dangerous and enveloping creatures. Interested in personal and sentimental complexities, he explores romance and relationships in contemporary society by delving into love, sex and the couple. Rubert's canvases often possess different layers of meaning.
