Memories
My body of work captures the warmth and spirit of my grandmother. Each portrait, while similar in style, differs subtly to represent the various stages of her life and the different challenges she has faced. The recurring smile across the paintings is a powerful symbol of her resilience and unwavering positivity.
Paying Homage to Popo is not just a tribute to my grandmother but a reflection on the sacrifices and triumphs that have shaped my life today. Through this artwork, I seek to honour her legacy, celebrate her life, and express my gratitude for her kindness to take care of the early years of my life.
