I've been longing for swollen love paintings here at Bomans for a long time, and it finally happened. My sister-in-law Karin's fabulous oils are the inspiration for this room.
Initially, I was a little hesitant about using pink and red together. I shouldn't have been, they are fantastic together.
Red symbolizes a strong and intense feeling of love, passion and attraction. It is a strong color that oozes energy. Pink stands for love, compassion, care, calm and innocence. In other words, two extremes meeting each other.
Redesigning the Mr. Benson hotel room was a long time coming for me. When we built the South Wing (as the house is called) in 2007, I created hotel rooms for myself, Benson and both of our children.
After Benson died in 2008, I left the room as it was and only made a few small changes to keep it up to date. I didn't want a mausoleum, just a cool hotel room.
Well, now it was really high time to tackle the room and the result was Passione rosa rossa.
È pura passione!
