Artist’s Work Depicts How Relationships Change Over Time and It’s Very Interesting

Art can touch us in ways we don’t expect, and to make us think about everyday things – like all of the many relationships in our lives – in new and interesting ways.

That said, most people will not expect drawings that contain just two simple lines to hit them in the feels the way artist and illustrator Olivia de Reclat’s “Closeness Lines” do.

She uses just a few, simple lines that connect, diverge, and sometimes return to show how human relationships – from parent/child to a one night stand – evolve and influence us over time.

People have thoughts on many of the relationships, and some of their comments are as good and deep as the original post.

As an artist, I think that the results of her thoughtful drawings are about all we can ask for – true engagement and conversation in return.
