Original artwork description:

The work is a mixed media on canvas and I employed oils and acrylics paints to create the work. The work exude the unconditional love, care and compassion children possess for each other and in essence it reflects on those beautiful nostalgic memories of childhood friendships, especially those whom provided us with a sense of comfort and shoulder to lean on. The work was inspired by childhood memories and it depicts a child rendered in a vivid and emotive style. The striking use of blue for the child's skin against the warm red background creates a powerful contrast, symbolizing emotional depth or resilience in the face of hardship. The tattered clothing and solemn expression evoke themes of vulnerability, struggle, and dignity, urging the viewer to reflect on social issues such as poverty and inequality.
