The canvas opens like a memory: sweeping blues and greens ripple like tall grasses bending in the wind, while vibrant red-orange sunbursts rise like little joyful discoveries.

This piece carries something profoundly personal for me. I love it because it reconnects me to that childlike part of myself that still sees beauty everywhere. The fluid brushstrokes, the gentle movement, the floating shapes—they evoke a time of play, curiosity, and emotional freedom.

I love how the colors interact, how they seem to whisper memories without defining them. There is no heaviness here—only imagination, softness, and the feeling of stepping briefly into a world where everything is new, pure, and full of promise. The artwork becomes a refuge, a tender space where my past and present meet, reminding me that innocence never fully disappears; it simply transforms into creativity.

“Childhood” invites the viewer to enter this dreamlike landscape, to rediscover that simple, luminous way of looking at the world that we so often lose.
