The central character stretches across the page with long, striped arms and legs, bending in an impossible, graceful arc. Bold reds, brilliant blues, and sharp blacks give the figure a sense of movement—as if they’re stepping forward into a world full of symbols and floating thoughts.

Beside them, a more minor yellow-clad character with green hands hovers like a curious spirit, watching, questioning, or silently guiding. The background is alive with circular motifs—half-moons, playful dots, shifting shapes—that respond to the characters like sound waves or passing ideas. At the bottom, a tiny chicken appears atop a soft pink wave, adding humor, tenderness, and a surreal twist that makes the scene feel wonderfully spontaneous and alive.

This drawing vibrates with rhythm: the curve of the arms, the wobble of the shapes, and the comic proportions all work together to create a world where logic bends and emotion speaks through color.

Why I love it:
I love this piece because it feels like a conversation without words—an exchange of glances, gestures, energies. The long striped limbs, the exaggerated red hands, the tiny chicken cameo… everything feels free, playful, and slightly absurd in the most charming way. It reflects my joy in exploring movement, connection, and humor inside simple lines and bright fields of color. It makes me smile every time I look at it.
