Original artwork description:

"BUDDIES", a mixed media painting, captures the essence of youthful camaraderie as three inseparable boys embark on a timeless adventure under an old bridge. The artwork is constructed with a mix of watercolors, acrylics and textured elements.

The central theme revolves around the unbreakable bond these three friends share as they explore the currents of a river.

Under the bridge, a secret world comes to life through layers of collage elements and vibrant colors. The boys, rendered as black silhouettes, radiate pure joy and curiosity. The bridge casts muted sunlight and warm, red hues over the scene, enhancing the sense of adventure and unity.

Through a meticulous combination of mediums, "BUDDIES" invites viewers to return to a simpler time when friendships were forged in the wild and the world was an endless playground waiting to be explored. This mixed media work not only celebrates the beauty of friendship, but also serves as a poignant reminder of the universal joy found in the bonds formed while exploring the wonders of life.
