My Expression of A Mother's Love

Mother & Daughter – Multi-Medium Collage on Canvas

Artist: Mariëtte Cilliers

Medium: Multi-Medium Collage

Surface: Original Artwork on Canvas

Framing: Unframed

Date created: 2025

This original multi-medium collage captures the intimate strength and tenderness shared between a mother and her daughter. Set against a vibrant, layered background of warm yellows, earthy textures, and expressive mark-making, the figures emerge with quiet dignity and emotional depth.

The composition blends acrylic paint, collage elements, printed text fragments, and decorative motifs to create a richly textured surface. Swirling patterns and written script weave through the piece, symbolising story, legacy, and the unspoken language between mother and daughter. A soft blue floral accent adds a gentle focal contrast, enhancing the sense of nurture and hope.

The mother’s protective posture and the daughter’s restful expression convey security, belonging, and unconditional love. This artwork speaks to themes of heritage, resilience, connection, and the sacred bond that shapes identity.

Each layer has been intentionally built to invite reflection, reminding us that love is not only felt but formed through shared stories, protection, and presence.

An expressive statement piece for a living space, studio, or prayer corner, this artwork offers warmth, strength, and meaning to any interior.
