There’s no greater love than daddy’s love. The way a father loves and protects his daughter is something that words often fail to define or express. However, every daughter’s relationship with her father is not the same. Some strive hard and yearn for their father’s attention. They are deprived of love, guidance, and care. Ukrainian artist Snezhana Soosh was dealing with something very similar–and that’s what propelled her to illustrate scenes from the bond she always desired to have with her father.
In an interview, Soosh said: “I always wanted to have a tender and loving relationship with my own father, but he didn’t know how to show his love. So most of the time he was distant and cold. I was observing other fathers with their daughters and so loved each tender moment they had together. I think I drew what I lacked and very much wanted — to feel loved and protected by my big papa. I hope fathers will see how important they are in their kids’ lives and feel appreciated and inspired to show their love and affection. I also want to say that real strength shows itself through love and tenderness.”
