A golden baby sucks its thumb inside a large silver egg within a golden monochrome. The child is made of precious metal, the same gold as the canvas's background, representing the mysterious infinity from which it comes. The baby is serene, inside an egg filled with the water of life, its silver color associated with the moon and the feminine principle. Moreover, its mother is everywhere, omnipresent, symbolized by the blue color of the threads that crisscross the entire canvas.

It's a little baby sucking his thumb. He's not born yet because he's in his mom's belly, which is round like an egg. The golden color means he's like gold. Because a little baby is very precious and also a bit mysterious because we don't really know how we arrive on earth
