4 Artists Exploring Family Connection
These four artists dive into family connection in four different ways. Given their unique life experiences and artistic journeys, we’d expect nothing less! From diverse ancestry to everyday moments, we’re taking a look at how four different creators explore the bonds of kinship.
From growing up with loved ones to finding non-blood related relatives, family is part of who we are. Because familial ties run so deep within us, when artists reveal these connections in their art, it makes us realize how universally relatable family truly is. Whether it’s showing an emotionally charged embrace of a parent and child or a lighthearted moment of siblings together, artists find many ways to emphasize the beauty and power of these relationships. From elegant, dressed up portraits to comfortable, shared routines at home, these four artists explore family connection in different ways.
No matter if the artwork showcases traditional poses or casual scenes, each of these creators highlight this topic differently. From endearing watercolors to faceless mixed media art, keep scrolling to find a new favorite artist.
