You know how memories of childhood always seem to tug at the heartstrings, growing increasingly sweeter as the years pass by? That feeling tends to become amplified when you are uprooted from the country you know and love...and then must adjust to life in an entirely different land and culture. That happened to @fatimaronquillostudio at the age of 11 when she moved to America after spending her formative years in the Philippines. Her entire body of work is rooted in the concept of nostalgia and memories of yesterday. Knowing this backstory, doesn't Fatima's image of gracefully clasped hands amid birds and blooms look even MORE glorious? 🎨ARTWORK DETAILS🎨 Artist: @fatimaronquillostudio Title: “Clasped Hands with Hummingbirds and Passiflora” Dimensions: 12 x 12 inches Medium: Oil on panel Date: 2020 fatimaronquillo.com ••• posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/COfO0QYLhA2/
