‘I was drawn to this piece because it beautifully captures the special bond between a mother and daughter. There is such tenderness in the way the daughter rests in her mother’s arms, and a quiet contentment in the mother’s expression. To me, it reflects the comfort, trust and security of knowing that someone who loves you is always there. It is a gentle portrayal of love, safety and belonging.’

‘The artwork reminds me of French wallpaper, delicate details and fine line markings. The attention to detail is well executed and adds depth to the image. I like the simplicity of the choice of medium as the fine line markings add to the old-world quality.’

‘When I first looked at this piece, it made me think of John Brack’s Collins St, 5pm, but a more contemporary, urban version. I really like the way the artist has used colour to convey mood, and create a sense of conformity vs originality.’

‘The design and creative use of colours in this mosaic artwork captures your attention. Words that come to mind are adventure, joy and hope.’

‘This artwork immediately caught my attention because of its bright colours, playful energy, and vibrant style. The use of bold colours creates a sense of happiness and warmth, while the cheerful design makes it feel fun and uplifting. I love how the artwork has a joyful personality and brings a sense of excitement and positivity. The combination of colour, charm, and creativity makes it a piece that feels welcoming and makes me smile.’

‘I love the wistful poise of the girl, and the suggestion of something big in the depths she’s gazing over. The artist’s use of colour, and depiction of shadow and horizon is compelling. There’s a wonderful feeling of peace and contemplation that accompanies this piece.’
