Candle

Drawing by Boyan Donev, 1992

Available

This drawing is like a prayer burned into human form. The candle is not merely a candle — it is a body, fused from two beings, as if their love were the wax that the flame melts. See how the bodies are entwined — you cannot tell where one ends and the other begins. This is how love burns — beautiful and painful at once.

The flame above is small, yet strong, like a final spark in the darkness. And the rays around it are not merely light — they are a sigh, a release. The whole feeling is one of sacrifice — as if the artist were saying: “love shines as it melts.”

There is something almost biblical in the silence of this image — as though time has stopped between burning and salvation.
