Wardrobe

Oil on canvas; 240 x 180 cm (open), 190 x 120cm (closed).

While painting this work, I wanted to delve into myself, into my subconscious, recalling my childhood. In the center of the painting is my daughter, through whom I
speak about myself. Each item in the wardrobe symbolizes an important event, emotion, or person for me. Childhood is a crucial phase of life where we draw
everything for our future, but sometimes the experience can be traumatic and negatively affect the quality of life in adulthood. With this work, I invite others to look into their own “wardrobes.”
