Motherly by Tori Pounds Large-Scale Mixed Media Painting is a unique painting created in 2024 that explores care, protection, vulnerability, and emotional gravity through a monumental contemporary language. The title suggests nurture and strength existing simultaneously—an intimate force expressed at an architectural scale. Rather than depicting motherhood literally, the work investigates its psychological weight, tension, and endurance.

Executed in oil, charcoal, and acrylic on canvas, Motherly by Tori Pounds combines multiple materials to build a surface rich in contrast and depth. Oil provides density and emotional weight, charcoal introduces raw gesture and immediacy, and acrylic allows for structural clarity and layered transitions. The interaction between these materials creates a surface that feels both forceful and restrained, reflecting the dual nature implied by the title.

Measuring 200 × 210 cm (72.7 × 82.7 in), the artwork is monumental in scale and designed to engage the viewer physically. Its near-square proportions give it a grounded, enveloping presence, allowing the work to function as an anchor within contemporary interiors, institutional collections, or large-scale installations. The painting commands space without relying on excess, asserting itself through balance, material authority, and emotional resonance.

This artwork is unique and one of a kind. No editions or reproductions exist. Motherly by Tori Pounds ships mounted on a professional wooden stretcher, ensuring stability and readiness for installation upon arrival.

The listed price for this artwork is USD 5,800.

The work reflects Tori Pounds’ ongoing exploration of emotional states and relational dynamics expressed through scale and material complexity.

Motherly by Tori Pounds is intended for collectors and institutions seeking contemporary painting with immersive scale, emotional intensity, and material richness—work that holds space with authority while remaining deeply human.
