About this artwork
I wanted to represent in this painting the scene where a father, full of tenderness and emotion, gently kisses his daughter's hand, thus expressing his love and blessing at her wedding.
The kiss of the hand, a gesture marked by respect and tradition, symbolizes the father's unconditional support for his daughter in this important moment of her life.
In this moment steeped in romantic tradition, the kiss of the hand resonates like a sweet echo from… the past. It is a delicate and ambivalent balance between tenderness and nostalgia in the face of the changes that this marriage entails.
