Mother and Child

Acrylic and oil on linen, 30 × 40 inches, 2022.

Mother and Child is an original figurative painting portraying a mother holding and kissing her child while standing in luminous ocean water. Turquoise, sea green, and violet surround the figures, while the mother’s embrace creates an intimate center of tenderness, protection, and strength.

The two figures appear joined emotionally and physically, reflecting the profound connection between parent and child. The mother’s kiss conveys warmth and devotion, while her firm embrace suggests the endurance required to protect and nurture another life.

Part of the Women’s Resistance collection, Mother and Child honors maternal courage, bodily autonomy, and a woman’s right to make decisions for herself and her family. The painting presents motherhood as both tenderness and power—a bond sustained through love, agency, and resilience.
