70×100 cm, oil on canvas

My father worked a lot to provide for our needs, so he spent less time at home with us. The burdens and joys of having children mostly affected my mother.

 This painting is about my mother and motherhood. It's about what it was like to raise five children, each with their own little personality, their own will, their own ideas. The five meerkat children personify me and my siblings with our characters.
