The painting captures the closeness between a mother and her child as it is in its essence - safe and loving. The maternal presence feels natural here, it protects, soothes and provides reassurance. The little girl with flowers carries a simple gesture of trust and joy that comes effortlessly. Light and the open background create a gentle radiance, as if the entire painting were growing from a feeling of warmth and calm. The painting is an image of love that needs no words because in itself it means home.
