Red Shoes (2026) Original Oil Painting by Nimasha Perera

25.4 x 20.32 x 2.54cm (unframed) / 25.4 x 20.32cm (actual image size)

£381.06

Two small red shoes, unlaced, abandoned. This painting was born from grief, from the unbearable weight of a child lost too soon.

There is nothing subtle about red. It demands to be seen, and that is precisely why it was chosen here. The colour carries the anguish that words cannot, vivid and insistent against the pale, quiet background. The shoes are rendered with care, their shine and form preserved in oil, because some things deserve to be looked at slowly, to be honoured.

To the viewer, these may simply be shoes. To those who know loss, they will be something else entirely.
