It is evident that the mother passionately radiates love to her children, as Joel Chavez sighted in his artwork. The whole scenario depicted a home setting alongside numerous distractions surrounding the subject. But despite these nervous disturbances, everything will be kept in place and at peace when love comes first.
Like the famous line from a Bible verse, "Love begets love," Chavez took this also as an inspiration.
The affection of a mother for her children became the center of attraction. These women wore the traditional attire of a Filipina during the Spanish colonial era, called "Filipiniana" showing only beauty in its most authentic and straightforward form.
Furthermore, Chavez also included one of the French painters William-Adolphe Bouguereau's 1882 art, Fishing for Frogs. Another portrait beamed intimacy and added a touch to this artwork.
"Love Begets Love" is a mixture of Chavez's creative mind. He unified all subjects and created fine illustrations using abstract, realistic, and other painting styles.
