This painting is about childhood bonds, love, trust and friendship. It is inspired by my own memories of growing up and tries to capture that special bond between two friends, a bond that feels truly pure and unshakable. The boy and girl are standing on a hill, their arms wrapped around each other, looking at something we cannot see. This reminds us of all the secrets and dreams that bring close friends together and keep the rest of the world at bay. The sky above them is blue with a few clouds, reminding us of possibilities, hope and innocence. It frames their silhouettes and adds a sense of boundless wonder, grounding the scene in reality and imagination.The hill on which they stand is symbolic - it is a place where they momentarily rise together above the uncertainties of life.This work captures an intimate moment of quiet reflection and invites viewers to feel the warmth of connection and the bittersweet longing for pristine friendships of days gone by.
