Artist's Statement: Mother and child themes are oft painted subjects in art. I do these themes to capture my Mom's and my Lola's love for their respective children. I can only fathom half of the deep love they're capable of giving. With their motherly love, as well as every mother in this world, they are heroes, most especially in this time of the pandemic keeping the family together. The semi transparent lines came to be when I was looking for a simple, yet interesting abstract element that I could incorporate in my paintings that should also be relevant to the times. I looked far and wide on and offline but did not find any. Then I looked at my face shield and the vertical semi transparent reflections danced in my peripheral vision and voila! It seemed so meaningful in so many levels and turned out to be a worthy part of the paintings once I added them. Art is of the spirit, animated by the soul that provides impetus to one's creativity. Whatever kind of art you do, do it with spiritual impact as the main goal.
