Artist Statement
“My wife’s pregnancy was an inspiring period for me. I painted her portrait a dozen times during that period. We had difficulty conceiving our son, and when it happened, we felt extreme happiness. In this portrait, I’ve painted her resting and dreaming—captured just a few weeks before giving birth. To paint, I used time-sensitive dry pastel, moistening the pigment in some areas and applying it with a brush.”
—Rubén Belloso
