ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Suddenly standing in the emptiness, child still holding a teddy bear does not know what way to go. Childhood seems to be almost gone, as if covered by snow. With a childlike approach as if he was holding balloons, he sets out for a journey into adulthood. In adolescence, there firstly fight and sometimes gently meet for a while two paths - rational (blue) and emotional (shade of the heart) and at the same time the way of the child (green) is refused. All this pubertal development finally anyway leads to the finding that only when we let the rationality, emotion and the child forever standing in each of us gently amalgamate with each other, we find the best way of life. Painting (Acrylic, Ink), Signed, Ready for Hanging.
