The Lover’s Eye Collection – A Symbolic Art Collection by Gaze and Graphite

A Gaze That Speaks Across Centuries

The Lover’s Eye Collection is a symbolic and emotionally intimate art series by Gaze and Graphite, inspired by the 18th-century tradition of miniature eye portraits exchanged in secret between forbidden lovers. These tokens of devotion, once hidden in lockets, rings, and brooches, are reimagined through a blend of classical influence and contemporary artistry.

Each piece focuses on a single gaze, capturing the tension of secrecy, the ache of longing, and the enduring power of romantic connection. Through graphite, digital, and mixed media techniques, these eyes become modern relics, timeless symbols of emotion that refuse to fade.

Key Pieces in the Collection:
• The Secret Kept – A silent vow hidden behind the eyes
• The Tear Preserved – Grief and love sealed in delicate memory
• Hidden Flame – The quiet burn of a love unspoken
• The Watcher – A presence felt even in absence
• The Keyhole Keepsake – Love seen through the narrowest view
• Double Vision – Two truths held in a single glance

Rendered in soft palettes, ornate detailing, and expressive stillness, The Lover’s Eye collection invites viewers to witness a story told not through words, but through a gaze that remembers everything.

Perfect for:
– Collectors of romantic, symbolic, or historical-inspired art
– Lovers of vintage aesthetics with a modern, emotional twist
– Thoughtful gifts in the form of prints, accessories, or wearable art
