Patience is a virtue that has always fascinated me, because it concerns aspects such as being strong, resisting, knowing how to wait, knowing how to dare despite the dark and mysterious sides that life holds. And continuing to believe. I have always seen all this in my mother, and I have successfully protected painting her to make her embody this symbol of strength, of spirit, of and of hope. I studied a triangular composition to increase the symbolic strength and solidity for the viewer. I wanted with the clothes to evoke Mary, as a symbol of motherhood. I looked for an intense atmosphere playing with warm lights and bright draperies, I hope the result will thrill you.
