'We'll Kiss on a Mountain High' is a vibrant, emotive piece that draws inspiration from the soulful lyrics of Norah Jones' song "Come Away with Me." Through this work, Tine Vandamme explores the transcendent beauty of love and intimacy. The title reflects a yearning for closeness, a moment of peace and elevation, a place where two souls merge and find solace amidst the peaks of their connection.
In her distinctive style, Vandamme captures the dynamic energy of the human connection — raw, tender, and filled with emotion. The bold brushstrokes and vivid colors serve as a visual representation of the depth and passion behind the song’s lyrics, reflecting the powerful vulnerability between two people in love. This painting invites the viewer to contemplate the idea of escape and the profound, shared experience of a love that feels boundless, almost otherworldly.
Through this piece, Vandamme offers not just a romantic interpretation, but an exploration of the deeper emotional resonance that music and art can evoke. It is an ode to the way love lifts us up, transcending the mundane to a higher state of being, just as the song suggests.
