“This painting is a part of my series of works entitled ‘Growing’, where I try to capture the behaviours and feelings I was discovering in my sons Jose and Miguel when they were growing and starting to know themselves. Perhaps the fact that these models were my kids made me pay closer attention to those behaviours, and even motivated me more to try and capture these feelings on the canvas. On a plaster background in blue and white, this piece shows the figure of a child holding a hat in his hands whilst waiting patiently for the person that observes him.”
