You Have My Heart is a tender and uplifting limited edition artwork by Doug Hyde, one of the UK's most celebrated contemporary artists. Beloved for his warm-hearted characters, gentle humour, and ability to capture the essence of human connection, Hyde's work has touched audiences across the world. His signature style distills universal emotions into simple yet powerful imagery, reminding us of the beauty in small gestures and everyday expressions of love. You Have My Heart is a perfect example of this, a joyous celebration of affection and togetherness conveyed with Hyde's trademark charm.
In this composition, Hyde presents his iconic rounded figure holding two helium balloons - one a bright, bold red heart, the other shaped as the letter "U." The message is instantly clear and universally understood: "Love You." With this playful arrangement, Hyde communicates one of the most profound human sentiments in a way that is direct, heartfelt, and immediately engaging. The character, smiling gently and standing with pride, embodies the warmth and openness of expressing love, whether between partners, friends, or family.
The background is loose and textured, created with Hyde's soft pastel technique. Subtle strokes and layered movement in pale tones add energy and depth to the scene, while keeping the focus firmly on the central figure and the symbolic balloons. This sense of gentle motion adds to the uplifting quality of the artwork, creating a composition that feels light, joyful, and alive. As with much of Hyde's portfolio, the simplicity of the scene is what gives it power - leaving space for the viewer to project their own memories, relationships, and moments of love onto the image.
Hyde's pastel artistry is captured with exquisite fidelity in this giclée on paper edition. The tactile quality of his mark-making - velvety textures, layered tones, and soft transitions of colour - are faithfully reproduced through the fine art printing process. Each edition preserves the emotional richness of Hyde's original pastel work, ensuring its depth and vibrancy endure over time.
