"L'Amour Fait Mal" is an original painting by Séverine Rigaud about the complexity of love and heartache. Vibrant colors collide with dark undertones, so passion and pain sit side by side on the same canvas. Swirling brushstrokes move across the surface like the turbulence of strong emotion: the rush of falling in love, the ache of losing it, and the longing in between.
The painting doesn’t tell you what to feel. It invites you to bring your own story to it. Some will see the intensity of passion, others the memory of a heartbreak. Both readings are true, because love is rarely one or the other. Even in pain, there is the beauty of having loved deeply.
Framed and ready to hang, it brings a gallery-style finish to a living room, bedroom or creative space. It’s also a meaningful gift for someone who appreciates art with emotional depth, with no trip to the framer needed.
Frame Dimensions: The width (the front of the frame) is 9 to 14 mm wide (0.35" to 0.55"), with thickness varying by region— 42 mm (1.65") in North America and 32 mm (1.26") in Europe. A 12 mm (0.45") gap between the canvas and frame ensures a snug fit.
