Be Gentle 3

The image depicts an emotional scene featuring a boy holding a small child, set against a backdrop of waves and a serene sky. The boy, whose face displays a focused yet tender expression, is dressed in a dark sweater, emphasizing a theme of protection and care.

The child, cradled in the boy's arms, is depicted with a slightly visible expression, conveying a sense of trust and safety. The background showcases turbulent waters meeting a calm sky, contrasting the intimate moment between the two figures.

Color palettes of blues and earth tones dominate, enhancing the mood of warmth amidst potential chaos. The flowing lines of the waves juxtaposed with the soft contours of the figures create a dynamic yet comforting composition. This artwork captures themes of maternal love and the bond between caregiver and child, inviting viewers to reflect on the significance of safety and nurturing in human relationships.

Oil on canvas, 2019.
Part of the on-going exploration of my relationship with the "inner child". A meditation on self-love and compassion and vulnerability.
