Collections: "Mother"
This series explore themes of loss, grief, compassion, and nostalgia. The central figure in these works is the artist’s mother, who served as a recurring subject in her final days. These poignant portraits depict her shortly before her passing, capturing her as a powerful yet fragile presence. Through delicate and gentle brushwork, the artist conveys his mother’s vulnerability and fragility, evident in her body language. Her facial expression, marked by a quiet sense of resignation or acceptance, deepens the emotional impact. The series transforms the personal experience of parental loss into a universal meditation on grief, imbued with an elegiac quality. The colour palette, while warm and comforting, creates a striking contrast with the sombre subject matter. The textured brushstrokes lend a tactile quality to the paintings, inviting the viewer to engage with the works on an intimate level. The slow, deliberate process of creation reflects the artist’s care and devotion, as if he was tending to his mother in her final moments through the act of painting.
