Childhood is the field I am working in these series of paintings . Childhood is the main point in everyone’s life that determines the way we can see and understand ourself and the world that include us. I choose to paint the children’s faces with an adult touch , because that’s the way most of us feel most of the time . Like a child living in an adults body. The toyhorse the child is riding and the surroundings are telling a story of wanting ride away , escape, travel, but the horse can not really move on . The horse can only stay at the same place bouncing. I like an antique feeling and aesthetic in my painting , using colors and brightness in a way that reminds of old children’s books. I use it as an effect which builds a distance from the present snd the aesthetic that we are used to surround us.
