Acrylic on canvas.
48x48x1.50"
This is my the second artwork from the series “Summer holidays. Nostalgia for childhood”, in which I try to dive deeper into the topic of nostalgia for childhood, inviting the viewer on a journey through time and generations. Building on the cheerful essence of the previous work, the canvas now reflects a deeper exploration of family ties and the continuity that binds generations. I continue to work with bright and optimistic shades, filling the picture with an undeniable feeling of joy and warmth. Reminiscent of sun-warmed memories, these vibrant hues dance across the canvas, inviting us to remember the carefree days and blissful summers of our youth. The smudges ( flow) of paint take on a profound significance, transcending mere accidental elements. They are symbolic of the fluidity of time itself, where the essence of each generation flows and intertwines, leaving behind a unique and vibrant hue. As the canvas captures the passage of time, it becomes a poignant reflection of the impermanence and beauty of life's journey.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
The process of creating my work is an organic one. The history and time of the creation of each art piece are crucial to me, and I keep the impulse of the emergence of an idea till the last brush stroke. My paintings seek to capture a fleeting moment or emotion while celebrating the joy of making.
Whether making a painting or drawing, I allow the elements I create to ‘appear’ on the surface of the canvas or paper.
My approach is mainly intuitive; the paintings unfold and develop almost of their own accord, and I aim to invite the viewer to find an emotional connection within the painting.
