Mum with Red Cup
This quiet domestic scene depicts the artist’s kitchen with her mother seated at the table. She seems to be inspecting her own clothing or greeting a pet under the table. The luminous colours convey the impression of dusk, mirroring her mother’s old age and physical frailty. The large red mug which stands centre-stage further emphasises the figure’s small stature. The understated title belies the painting’s emotional charge, capturing this elderly woman’s immense trauma and indomitable force of spirit.
