The colors are a very prominent element in this painting. The background is a darker mixture of blacks and yellows in a pattern that isn't definite. This contrasts with the main image of the piece which is the man and the women. They are wrapped in a golden, organic looking shape which is above a bed of flowers. It gives the impression that they are the only two people in this moment in time. The colors that they are pictured with are also bright making the stand out more but also the main color used is yellow which usually constitutes happiness. With the color scheme used the message being delivered is one of content or pure love share between the man and woman in this single moment. This is how the composition contributes to the message as well. The two subjects are the center of the painting. This placement further enhances the idea that they are so in love that in the moment it feels like it is just them. They are in a world all their own and the outside elements are of little importance. The fact that is abstract as well helps to illustrate the different ways that this image can be interpreted. The overall message that I have taken fro this image as previously mentioned is that these two are supposed to represent the power of a connection between two people. Entitle The Kiss these is a very intimate connection that two people can share and that is illustrated in the painting but also the way that you can't really see an full body resemblance makes the two appear as one entity. This can also represent the intensity a bond of love can have.
