A few months ago I stumbled upon these great photos from my family at my parent’s house. Of course I’d seen them before, but now I could borrow them for some time and use them as a great source of inspiration. I love to draw people, especially children, from the past anyway, using old photos, postcards and books.
It’s so lovely to see all my relatives -my grandparents and mum- looking so young and happy. Noticing resemblances with me and my siblings. I especially love their elegant clothes. I guess it’s just great to fantasize about these good old times.
