Javier Calleja
“For this painting I have decided to represent a deferent
moment of the maternity. I wanted to explain the unconditional
love that mothers can give to their children,
especially during the moment when the child becomes a
teenager, where they are more selfish, and how particularly
in that difficult moment the mother gives all of her
love and compression to them. For that reason, in the tshirt
the mother wears “you” and watches her child with
open arms, while the boy wears “me”, symbolising that
moment in your life where you only think about yourself.
If you notice, the boy looks at the audience. He still
showing his love to his mother, but in a secondly way.”
