Original artwork description:

In this painting, I explored the juxtaposition of adulthood and childhood through the simple act of blowing a bubble. The earnest expression and the delicate bubble contrast against the deep, textured blues of the background, symbolizing the transient, fragile nature of life and moments of joy. My work aims to provoke thought on the complexity of human emotion and the fleeting beauty of simple pleasures, enriching any home with depth and introspection. A little self-irony to yourself and the world around us. Everything is so relative and perishable, and at any moment it can burst like a soap bubble.
