Childhood Echoes
In this collection, I return to childhood not as a perfect memory, but as a stage where wonder, mischief, fear, tenderness, and imagination live side by side. I paint small dramas drawn from the logic of children, where dolls rebel, numbers resist, biscuits tempt, and care becomes play. Each scene balances innocence with unease, humor with vulnerability, and memory with invention. I want these works to feel familiar yet slightly uncanny, like recollections softened by time but sharpened by emotion. Through them, I revisit the fragile theatre of youth and its quietly unforgettable intensity.
