"Recuerdos De Ti"
Oil on canvas
22"x24"
Today marks two years since my grandfather passed. I painted this to recreate a memory I had with him and my family at a rocky beach in Nicaragua. It captures that longing to step back into a memory, like a portal into a moment I wish I could relive. The beach might not actually look like this, but I painted it based on a childhood memory. It feels calm, yet carries a hint of eeriness and sadness that comes with looking back.
