Daddy’O, 2023

“A young man in his twenties. An ambitious dreamer, a Portuguese migrant to the shores of Africa. My father.” Painted after his death, this is Lucille Fernandes-Stangl’s enquiry into a complex man, and into the weight of what a daughter expects of a father. “I realise, now, how heavy that must have been.” Oil on canvas, 1200 x 800 mm. Original, with Certificate of Authenticity.
