Curatorial Statement
This deeply personal work represents the artist’s first and greatest blessing: her firstborn daughter. Created during pregnancy, the painting emerged while the child was still growing within her, making it not only a portrait of a life to come, but also a visual testimony of the sacred bond between mother and child.
The expressive forms and emotional brushwork reflect the mystery, anticipation, and unconditional love experienced during motherhood. For the artist, the face that emerges from the composition unmistakably resembles her daughter as she appeared during those early months of life, transforming the work into both a memory and a spiritual document.
Unlike other works in the collection, this piece is not offered for sale. It remains part of the artist’s personal legacy—a treasured reminder of the moment when God entrusted her with the gift of motherhood.
Bible Verse
“Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him.”
