Description
THIS IS AN ENHANCED PRINT
This is a high-quality print of my work on archival art paper. I enhance my prints using either ink, paint, pastel, or a combination of mediums. Each one is unique. This piece is mounted on wood and ready to hang out of the box. It is completely hand-crafted by (me) the artist, with unique texture patterns added by hand. No two are the same. These pieces are signed and dated on the back by the artist.
ARTWORK STORY
Life has this weird habit of making us think we need to be serious all the time—like we have to earn joy by first surviving a never-ending to-do list. But what if play wasn’t something we had to justify? What if we held onto it like our life depended on it? Because, in many ways, it does.
This piece captures that struggle—the tension between the weight of the world and the lightness of play. The figure, sculpted in strength yet painted in vulnerability, reaches for something seemingly fragile: a red balloon, a symbol of childhood wonder. The colors bleed and drip, just like time slipping past us, but that doesn’t mean we let go.
This is a reminder: Cling to what brings you joy. Hold on with both hands, with every muscle, with every ounce of defiance against the grind. Because the moment you stop reaching for play is the moment you start sinking into monotony. And honestly, who has time for that?
