“Forever by Her Side” is a deeply personal piece in my series depicting figures from behind as they traverse life’s paths. This painting captures a poignant moment between my brother and his granddaughter, walking hand in hand down a tranquil winter path, illuminated by soft light from ahead.

The choice of colors and gentle brushwork evokes both warmth and nostalgia, representing the bond they shared. The serene surroundings symbolize the journey of life, while the light ahead signifies hope and a connection that transcends time and space.

Creating this piece shortly after my brother's passing adds profound meaning, transforming personal sorrow into a tribute of love and remembrance. “Forever by Her Side” invites viewers to reflect on the enduring relationships that shape our lives, reminding us that those we love remain forever in our hearts as we continue our journeys.
