20 x 24 inches, Oil on canvas, Antique frame included, 2025.
Daphne is part of My Memory Garden collection. She evokes family gardens, linen dresses, and those discreet but powerful women who shaped our history. Her calm and assertive gaze, against a green background, embodies a moment of deep calm, like an invitation to reconnect with one's roots.
The background lines recall the unique lives of the women who came before us. Daphne is a return to the earth, to our mothers, to that gentle transition between childhood and adulthood where identity takes shape. Her gentleness is a quiet strength, an anchor in feminine heritage, in slowness and patience. She reminds us that stillness can be a power in itself.
About the collection — My Memory Garden
The Garden of My Memories is a collection of works inspired by childhood memories, maternal heritage, and tender moments engraved in the heart. Each portrait, framed in vintage style, celebrates women who are imperfect, free, and deeply human. The repeated lines in the background evoke memory, mortality, and the traces left by those who came before us.
