Artwork Synopsis:

 "The Girl with the Lamp" holds a significant place in my artistic journey. It is one of the first paintings I created when I began exploring my passion for art. The subject’s expression, embodying sweet innocence, while she gently holds a kerosene lamp that illuminates her face and polka dot dress, resonates deeply with me. I often refer to her as a coal miner’s child, although she could equally represent a young girl waiting on a dock for her father's return from the sea. This piece is rich with meanings and metaphors that invite reflection and interpretation.
