Original artwork description:

"Mom, I Love You!" (100x100cm, Oil on Canvas, 2024) by Dominic Virtosu is a poignant and powerful portrayal of the intimate bond between mother and child. In this hyper-realistic close-up, the artist focuses on a pair of breasts, depicted with meticulous detail using oil paints. The image, rendered in striking realism, invites viewers to reconsider their perceptions of the female body, shifting the focus from objectification to celebration. The breasts, symbols of nourishment and love, transcend their physicality and become emblems of maternal devotion, strength, and unconditional love.

With this piece, Virtosu pushes the boundaries of traditional femininity, bringing attention to the profound and often overlooked aspects of motherhood. The hyper-realistic technique, paired with the tenderness of the subject, transforms the body into a profound symbol of empowerment. Here, the breast is not merely a body part, but a vessel of emotion, care, and connection, radiating the quiet yet unyielding power of maternal love.

"Mom, I Love You!" speaks directly to women, inviting them to reflect on their own experiences of motherhood, femininity, and the unconditional love that shapes both. The work also encourages a broader conversation about the complexities of the female form—how it holds stories of strength, vulnerability, and resilience.

This piece is an invitation to embrace the multifaceted nature of femininity, to celebrate the mother as both nurturer and individual, and to reflect on the transformative power of love.
