About "Portrait of boy in Uganda"

About the artwork

In front of the open door of a simple house in a village near Sipi Falls, a child sits engrossed in his game. In front of him are colourful caps, carefully arranged, as he looks up just for a moment, a moment of curiosity and innocence. His yellow shirt catches the light and forms a warm contrast colour against the earthy tones of the surroundings: brown, taupe, bronze and gold.

The inspiration for this portrait came during a trip through Uganda, where everyday life takes place in full purity. I wanted to capture the power of simplicity: how a child, with minimal means, creates endless imagination and joy.

The atmosphere is intimate and honest. You feel the silence of the village, the soft light, the warmth of the earth. It is an image that invites you to pause, look and appreciate what really matters.

The message? Happiness is in small things. This portrait reminds us that play and wonder are universal, regardless of where we are born.

What makes this work special in an interior? The warm earth tones and hint of gold bring calm and harmony, while the child's curious gaze adds a human, vibrant touch. It is a work that evokes stories and gives any space a sense of warmth, authenticity and connection.
