my grandma
a portrait
Anyone who knows me knows that painting portraits is my greatest passion.
Every person is unique and behind every face there is a very individual and unique story.
​
The great art of portrait painting consists in depicting this unique story of a person in a picture. When I paint, I often think of the person I bring to life on my canvas. What were her/his dreams. What has this person experienced in his/her life?
This happens especially with people who are close to me.
When I decided to paint a portrait of my grandmother, a lot of thoughts went through my mind, all the memories and experiences I was able to share with her.
My grandma was a very special person. A person who always had her fellow human beings in view and took care of them with self-sacrifice.
What I remember most about her is her positive attitude, her joy and her optimism.
