Where are you?
In this evocative oil painting, I revisit a photograph of my mother at twelve, her gaze cast thoughtfully over the vast Atlantic Ocean alongside her three younger siblings. I intertwine the elegant architecture of Paris—a city I longed to bring her to but never could within her brief lifetime—both in the foreground and the distance. Her contemplative expression mirrors my own emotions today, living without her voice, her presence, her laughter. Through a dynamic fusion of expressionism, impressionism, realism, and semi-abstract techniques, I seek to capture a profound sense of yearning and reflection. This work stands as an ode to my mother—my enduring love and guardian—now dwelling in a new place beyond reach, yet forever close in memory and spirit.
