Boys


From my canvas emerges a world where the essence of boyhood is delicately captured—its fleeting innocence, mischievous laughter, and quiet moments of introspection. This collection is my homage to youth, a time when the weight of the world had not yet settled and every day seemed endless.

Each painting holds a fragment of shared memories, inspired by intimate conversations with friends and acquaintances who, like me, recall their childhoods with a mixture of longing and warmth. These stories—universal yet deeply personal—became my palette, urging me to explore the unspoken emotions and nostalgia that linger within all of us.

Through soft, dreamlike hues and textured strokes, I sought to immortalize the resilience, wonder, and vulnerability of those formative years. A boy running through fields with abandon, the quiet stare of one lost in thought, or a group of friends laughing under fading sunlight—every piece invites the viewer to reconnect with their own stories of youth.

This collection is a bridge between the past and present, a shared reflection for art lovers who seek not only beauty in form but also a deeper connection to the feelings that mold us. It is my hope that these paintings evoke memories, smiles, and perhaps even a tear—reminding us all of the boy who still lives within.
