Mother and Child

Gallery number - 9

Traditional religious icon

"Mother and Child" is a timeless religious icon that has been rendered in countless artworks throughout history. While often depicted as Mary and Jesus, it symbolizes the universal bond of motherhood and the vital role mothers play in bringing life into the world. In my interpretation, I chose a dark palette to evoke a sense of melancholy, capturing the mother's contemplation of the challenges and trials she and her child will face. This somber tone underscores the profound strength and resilience inherent in the maternal journey.
