Antti Favén – Kiss

Finnish artist Antti Favén, celebrated for his nuanced social portraits, reveals a rare, private side in Kiss. Unlike his polished works created for exhibition or public acclaim, this piece bears the marks of studio experimentation: quick sketch lines, subtle paint splotches, and gentle imperfections. 

These traces of Favén’s artistic process, combined with such tender and intimate subject matter, infuse the piece with an unexpectedly modern look and feel. Because both the background and matting of this framed print are relatively neutral in color, it’s a particularly versatile piece of vintage art to include in nearly any style of home decor.
