Childhood Memories #3 (2025) Original Mixed-media Painting by V+V Kniazievi

Size: 100x70 cm

“Childhood Memories” is a poetic journey into the lightness of early recollections — playful, blurred, and deeply emotional. This artwork captures a delicate balance between abstraction and natural form, where tree branches reach upward like thoughts, and soft pastel touches bloom like forgotten joys.

Created with a rich mix of acrylic paints and oil pencils, the surface tells a tactile story: expressive impasto textures contrast with delicate linear sketches, inviting the viewer to explore both depth and fragility. Gentle greens, pale yellows, blush pinks, and creamy whites harmonize with soft blue and muted lavender undertones — all working together to evoke a serene, nostalgic mood.
