FLOWERS FOR MOM
Acrylic on canvas || 80 cm x 160 cm || 2023
This painting portrays a heartfelt moment frozen in time, capturing the deep bond between a mother and her beloved daughter. In this artwork, a red-haired daughter, delicately cradles a bouquet of fresh flowers. Her eyes radiate with innocence and joy, reflecting the purity of their connection. Beside her, a loving mother with flowing blue hair graces the scene, her eyes sparkling with warmth as she places one hand tenderly on her daughter's shoulder. This touching depiction of maternal love and affection makes this artwork perfect for art enthusiasts who cherish the beauty of family connections.
Elli Maanpää: "The day I began this painting, I envisioned creating a scene reminiscent of Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss," with lovers in mind. To my surprise, though, what materialized on the canvas were not two embracing individuals but rather a mother and daughter. Yet, in another sense, it wasn't surprising at all. This artwork serves as my public expression of gratitude to all the wonderful mothers without whom our existence would not even be possible."
