About the Item
Work on cardboard
Dimensions with frame 47.7 x 34.5 x 5 cm
This work depicts a crouching young child, captured in an intimate moment of reflection or play. The artist has chosen to use an earthy color palette, highlighting shades of brown, beige and green, creating a warm, natural atmosphere. The brushstrokes are lively and expressive, evoking the energy and innocence of childhood. The child's position, with his back slightly tilted forward, adds emotional depth to the composition. He seems absorbed in some off-camera activity, leaving the viewer to imagine what he might be doing. The facial features are not clearly defined, allowing the viewer to concentrate on the child's posture and gestures, rather than his identity. The background is undefined, but envelops the figure fluidly, with touches of color and variations in light that suggest an external environment without explicitly specifying it. This artistic choice places the human being at the heart of the scene, without unnecessary distractions. This work stands out for its ability to capture an ephemeral moment in everyday life with remarkable depth and simplicity. It invites the viewer to reflect on the fragility and beauty of the present moment, while evoking universal memories of childhood.
