The artist captures an intimate, everyday moment: a toddler at the edge of bedtime, still caught in play and laughter while being gently undressed.
Nothing extraordinary, and yet everything is.
Gentle tones flow through both portrait and background, layered in soft shades of light grey that allow the moment to breathe. Against this quiet palette, the blue T-shirt draws the eye. With a touch of imagination, it transforms into the hat of a fairytale gnome, a small echo of the world where play and fantasy still reign.
What lingers most are the child’s eyes: bright, sparkling, utterly present.
They speak of joy without reason, of laughter without memory, of a time where being is enough.
A quiet tribute to childhood, fleeting, tender, and endlessly alive.
