This monochromatic painting is a tribute to my late mother, capturing a moment from her youth through a photograph taken by my father, an amateur photographer, during their early courtship in the 1950s. The choice of a single color palette reflects the simplicity and depth of their love, evoking a sense of nostalgia that transcends time.

In this piece, I aimed to convey not only her beauty but also the warmth and joy of their shared memories. The soft contrasts and textures mirror the complexities of love and loss, an invitation to reflect on past experiences. This artwork serves as a heartfelt homage, celebrating the enduring connection between past and present, and honouring the legacy of a remarkable woman who shaped my life.
