A meeting of old friends

This painting captures the poignant reunion of old friends who haven't seen each other in years. There's warmth and familiarity in their eyes—a deep knowing that only time and shared history can forge. Yet, woven into the moment is an unexpected element: the subtle changes in each person that time has quietly shaped. A new habit, a different energy, a hidden story behind the smile. They recognize each other, but they are also rediscovering each other. This work explores the tension between memory and reality, the comfort of connection, and the surprise of personal growth.
