About this artwork
This intimate figurative oil painting portrays my son in a quiet, contemplative moment. Seen from behind with his head gently bowed and one hand touching the collar of his dark garment, he is surrounded by deep blues, warm skin tones, and dark blond hair that softly blends into the shadowed background. The atmosphere is peaceful, introspective, and emotionally resonant.
The image is inspired by a video still of him walking beneath our grand piano… on his way to his toy corner—perhaps deciding which treasure to pick up next. This origin brings a tender authenticity to the work, capturing both the innocence of childhood and the quiet love of a parent observing it.
Rendered with soft brushwork and subtle depth, the painting speaks to vulnerability, reflection, and the strength of familial connection. It is ideal for collectors who appreciate emotional realism, contemporary figurative art, and artworks that combine technical nuance with heartfelt intimacy.
Gerda Van Damme's emotionally charged works—often in monochrome—have earned her finalist spots in prestigious competitions such as the Arte Laguna Prize (Venice), the Biennale Pierre Paulus, and the Prix des Arts Plastiques et Visuels du Waux-hall (Audience Award). Exhibiting across Europe and the US, including Berlin, Brooklyn, Ostend, and the Arsenale of Venice, she blends cinematic storytelling with existential inquiry. Van Damme’s practice is supported by multiple grants from cultural institutions in Belgium, affirming her role as a vital voice in visual arts.
