This artwork delicately captures a mother's silhouette alongside her children.
The artist's keen eye uncovered the poignant resemblance between a woman's face and a child's profile, sparking thoughts on the profound influence of loved ones.
In a single painting, the piece beautifully embodies how the shaping power of those we love intertwines with our own identities.
Peytil is a Stockholm based art project founded by the designer and illustrator Eitil Thorén Due. Due grew up in a family of artists, his mother is a sculptor and his father is a painter, and was encouraged from an early age to experiment and follow his own path.
After working for several years as a fashion designer, Due wanted to create another outlet for his creativity, less restrictive than commercial fashion. His desire to paint and work whenever and wherever he wanted made him rent a studio and buy a large format inkjet printer, creating the Peytil project.
His work reflects a graffiti-like spontaneity with focus on fashion illustrations and urban portraits, showing a minimalist approach to art and design in the spontaneous expression of the simple black line.
