2014

In this double portrait, my aunt and my uncle from Poland sit at the kitchen table, in their house in the country side. They were farmers their entire life, hard working, simple people who worked so hard with amazing dignity. I was lucky to paint them before they passed away, both from cancer a few years after the portrait was completed.
In my eyes they represent a quiet dignity of hard work, love of the land and few expectations. The world that is disappearing quickly.
