Coat (2002) oil on canvas

Memories Woven into Fabric – A Meeting of Past and Present

This painting is more than just a depiction of a coat – it is a journey through time, a fragment of memory coming to life on canvas. The coat once belonged to my mother, when she was the same age as I am now. The folds of the fabric, the button, and the stitching are delicately detailed, bringing a tangible reality to the piece, while other parts fade into abstraction, like a fleeting memory.

In this composition, the layers of time intertwine – nostalgia and the passing of time permeate the painting. The warm, earthy golden-brown tones evoke a sense of comfort, yet also a feeling of absence, reflection, and remembrance.

This painting is a perfect choice for those who appreciate art with a story and value the evocation of the past in contemporary artwork.

Bring this timeless memory into your home and let your own stories be reflected on the canvas!
