Original artwork description:

Perhaps today isn’t the worst day to smile.
On one side sits the ever-resilient and eccentric figure of Charlie Chaplin, a man whose silent films spoke volumes about human struggles and resilience. Beside him - Paddington Bear, a symbol of innocence, optimism, and childlike wonder.
This surreal pairing reflects a meeting of contrasts.
The painting invites the viewer to explore the intersection of nostalgia, humor, and hope. It’s a reminder that no matter how different our journeys may be, moments of connection and shared humanity can bridge the widest of gaps.

Materials used:

oil, canvas varnish
