This artwork depicts a child immersed in play, surrounded by nostalgic symbols of childhood. A vintage wooden rocking horse with deep red and brown hues stands in the background, featuring cracks and signs of wear, suggesting the passage of time.

The child's focused expression contrasts with the fading innocence conveyed by the cracked horse and discarded dolls. 

The colorful handprints and rudimentary stick figures on the walls evoke a sense of creative freedom and youthful exuberance.

The tiled floor and geometric blocks of color anchor the scene in a structured, yet imaginative, space.

Artistic Elements:

  • Medium: Acrylic on canvas.
  • Color Palette: Muted earth tones, reds, greens, and pops of primary colors for contrast.
  • Style: Realism with symbolic abstraction.
