Painting description: 

As a young individual I often wonder how life will turn out for me and whether I will be able to leave any positive footprints when I’m gone. I think we all wish to make a change in the world, and hopefully also for the better. But what exactly? When we are in doubt, it’s better to try and do something, rather than sit back with regrets later in life.

This painting portraits an elderly man, reminiscing about his life, his most precious memories and his regrets. Many “what if’s” goes through his head. Behind every winkle and scar there are memories filled with emotions, reminders and life lessons.

But this is only my view of this man’s face-expression. What is your interpretation? 

Reference is an Roman old statue (artist unknown) of the River God Arno, which was part of a fountain with a basin dating back to 170-180 BCE. The statue have been restored by various Renaissance artists, including the head.
