Synopsis

This triptych was inspired by a conversation with a friend, who told me how sweet his little daughter is when learning to play on a musical instrument. The symbolism though, of the three child-like figures, is very deep. The red one symbolises the Love in its childish stage, the blue one - Truth and the yellow one - Wisdom, also in their childish stage, all with the great promise to grow and mature.
