About the artwork

This digital artwork shows a colourful, stylised illustration of a runner in action. The background consists of a bright, blue-fading sky that transitions into a green horizon, with a purplish road running diagonally through the image. The runner is in the centre of the composition, wearing a light purple singlet, dark running shorts and striking pink running shoes with black laces. On the chest is a start number with the name "Babe" and the number 445, printed in black numbers on a white background, framed by a red border.
The athlete has blonde hair, tied together in a bun on top of the head, and a broad smile that exudes a sense of energy and fun. Both hands make a thumbs-up gesture, directly reflecting the title "Thumbs up, babe". On the left wrist, the runner wears a sports watch, giving a subtle reference to achievement and timekeeping.
The style of the work is simple and graphic, with clear contour lines and even areas of colour with no shading. This gives the image a clean, almost comic book-like character. The choice of colours is vibrant but harmonious, enhancing the optimistic and motivating feel of the scene.
The work captures a moment of athletic joy and self-assurance, with the runner's posture and expression inviting positive energy and perseverance. "Thumbs up, babe" thus seems to be not only a snapshot of a sporting event, but also a visual encouragement to keep going with a smile and a raised thumb.
