Mom's friend's daughter. Version 40.
Painting by Daria Butriashkina
50 x 60 cm • Oil on canvas
Location:
Lviv, Ukraine
The painting depicts a woman with an ironic smile, yet visibly tired. She looks at her medals —
"Best Wife," "Best Daughter," "Best Mom," and others — symbols of socially imposed roles and expectations.
Behind her, on the wall, are images of her true desires: travel, education, love, and colors that hint at individuality and a longing for acceptance. These elements reveal her inner world - one caught between obligations and personal dreams.

Lviv, Ukraine
