About the Artwork
The Lovers by the Sea is a contemporary figurative painting depicting an elderly couple standing face to face with the sea, holding hands.
The work does not describe a spectacular moment, but rather a shared state of being, shaped by the years, by habit transformed into tenderness, and by the silent complicity that binds two beings who have passed through time together.
Human posture, central to Alain Rouschmeyer’s approach, here reveals a stable, calm, almost motionless relationship, where the body speaks more than the face.
The sea acts as a mirror of time: vast, constant, indifferent, yet deeply connected to the couple’s memory.
This figurative painting explores lasting love, fidelity, and mutual presence, without excessive romanticism or forced narration. It addresses a slow gaze and a collector sensitive to works that speak of real life, long time, and the simple beauty of enduring human relationships.
