Drawing and Painting

1998

Inspired by an old family photo, my abstract oil painting is an attempt to capture the essence of a moment that has long since passed. The image itself is hazy and indistinct, but its emotional impact is undeniable. As I worked on the canvas, I found myself delving deeper and deeper into the stories and memories that lay behind the photo, exploring the complex web of relationships that bound my family together.
