"Esperanza nodriza de los tristes" is one of my favorite pieces. The expression on the face is a cluster of feelings and emotions, in one. It is an attempt to recreate the right moment, an expression, a state of mind.
In a child, all these feelings are seen in the open, even so we are immune to the wake-up call. I think that we are not aware of the emotions and feelings of others, sometimes acting optimistic and only analyzing situations from our point of view. From experience I tell that we are going to get better relationships by developing empathy, and being more sensitive to people. This is only achieved through love.
