Love Poem by Kathe Fraga

# Love Poem

**Kathe Fraga**
Mixed Media on Canvas

In *Love Poem*, Fraga layers paint, collage, and gestural mark-making across the canvas surface. The composition balances representational and abstract elements—recognizable forms emerge and dissolve amid passages of bold color and delicate line work. The artist's hand remains visible throughout, with traces of the creative process left unresolved. Material textures accumulate: translucent washes sit against opaque passages, while varied mark-making creates rhythmic movement across the picture plane. The work operates simultaneously as intimate gesture and formal investigation, where emotional content and visual structure remain in productive tension. Fraga's approach resists singular interpretation, instead offering a complex, layered meditation on expression and material presence.
