Motherhood (Grace)

Motherhood (Grace) is an oil on wood painting by Patricia Perales García, part of her Motherhood series exploring the emotional terrain of early parenthood. The work depicts a deserted landscape where two figures wander uncertainly, struggling to keep their footing in a hostile terrain. In the distance, a tent stands as a symbol of hope — the promise of a tender, safe place to return to. Painted on discarded wood, the piece embraces the material's rawness and imperfection.

Notes

As the work is painted on discarded wood, slight irregularities in the panel's surface and edges are inherent to the piece. The work is fitted with a hanging fixture on the back.

Care

Keep out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources, as prolonged exposure can affect the paint surface and wood over time. Maintain a stable room temperature and avoid humid spaces such as bathrooms or kitchens. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth — avoid water, or cleaning products on the painted surface.
