This painting is based on a photograph of a painting, my grandfather painted in 1943. We don’t have the painting. He sold it, but I found the photograph in my mom’s apartment. I located the spot where he painted it from. I took a photograph and to pay homage to him and his art. I painted this painting in my style.
I don’t remember my grandfather, he passed away when I was one year old. But I grew up surrounded by his paintings. I always felt that I knew him through his art. This was a honor for me to be able to paint same subject he painted. I feel it brought us closer.
