Original artwork description:

"Tides of Holding" is a 25x30 cm oil painting inspired by the ebb and flow of motherhood—the constant motion of holding, nurturing, and letting go. A mother, wearing a baby carrier, cradles her child against an abstract autumnal backdrop by the lake. The warm, earthy hues blend with soft, flowing brushstrokes, creating a dreamlike atmosphere of comfort and devotion.

I was drawn to this subject because of its quiet emotional weight—how something as simple as holding and feeding a child carries generations of love, protection, and devotion. The warm sunset hues blend seamlessly into the landscape, reinforcing the feeling of harmony and deep connection. The choice of oil paint allows for layered textures and luminous depth, making the figures feel both ethereal and grounded.
