“Life Before Life” by Samuel Sifani is a tender, symbolic portrayal of motherhood and the beauty of albinism. The painting shows a serene pregnant woman with albinism, her pale skin and light hair rendered with softness and dignity. She gazes lovingly at her belly, where the unborn child appears resting in a dreamlike garden—an inner world filled with growing flowers, suggesting innocence, hope, and the continuity of life. The contrast between the outer stillness and the inner flourishing landscape highlights how every life begins in quiet mystery. By placing a mother with albinism at the center, Sifani challenges stigma and celebrates the uniqueness and strength of people born different yet equally beautiful. The artwork speaks to identity, protection, and the deep connection between mother and child, reminding us that every life—before life—deserves light, love, and recognition.Try it!
