Madonna & Child

Entering the unfamiliar landscape of motherhood sparked a deep curiosity about its artistic rendering. The recurring visual theme of the mother and child, so prevalent in art history, became a central point of investigation. In response, this work directly engages with this tradition by integrating a contemporary figure into the compositional space typically occupied by the Madonna and Child. This intentional act of insertion is driven by a desire to explore the nuances of present-day maternal experience through the lens of historical representation. The resulting image aims to foster a conversation about the timeless and time-bound aspects of motherhood as seen through artistic interpretation.
