It was difficult to provide two brothers who loved art at the same time to learn painting.

One had to work so that the other could afford to the dream of painting.

once he had finished his studies, it was his turn to work in the mines

Then he taught his brother how to paint.

After many years, the artist returned from his studies.

The first thing was sharing the joy to his brother,

He thought his brother could finally learn to paint too.

However, when he went to the door, he saw his brother praying.

The hands covered with wind and frost and vicissitudes of life make the painter both heartache and gratitude. The complicated feelings are deeply buried in his heart.

With gratitude and respect, he meticulously painted his brother's praying hands.
