Childhood Oil Painting
Everything starts from childhood - dreams and ambitions, but most importantly- the future. Children carry on the collective memory of their ancestors and enrich it by adding their own experiences to it. This painting is about remembering the heritage, respecting the past, but also reaching for the stars and not being afraid to push the borders. Many of the UAE’s achievements are known worldwide, and many are yet to come. Perhaps one of the children that is depicted on the painting is the one to design the new tallest building on the globe, or the first woman to go on an expedition to Mars. The children are presented not as people who need to learn about the world, but rather as the ones that will lead nations and sculpt the future. They are fearless, imaginative and strive for more. Some children say and do the most unexpected things and have the most incredible ideas that an adult would never think of. They are bold, and curious to see what the universe has to offer. This is captured in the girl’s personality, she is a dreamer who knows what she wants and is not giving up.
The boy’s character is a lot more reserved, thoughtful, a true mathematician. He is carefully adding sand blocks, making sure the “building” doesn’t fall. He is a visionary and finds inspiration in nature. The setting of the painting is the beach, as the sea green-blue and sandy ochres create a pleasant combination of colors and have a direct association with timelessness and serenity. Also, the beach is the place where children love to play, build sandcastles and it serves as a reference to a “happy place” in many of adults’ memories. The light is coming from the top, like it would be around 12pm, hinting that the sun is there to give visibility and light to all future discoveries and achievements. The colors are vivid with dramatic shadows to emphasize the direction of the light.
The painting includes some cultural elements like the colors of the UAE flag, the boy’s clothes and the little toy camels in the bucket, suggesting that no matter how far the progress may go, there will always be a traditional flavor in the society. The technique is a mixture of two amazing art schools, Russian and Italian. The Russian technique is light and airy. Italian, on the other hand, is about contrast and browns. Merging the two helped me achieve the effortless atmosphere and have beautiful flesh tones. Some modern effects give the painting an interesting twist, as if they happened by accident.
