fort

This painting captures a tender moment of childhood, in the cosy confines of an improvised fort. One clutches a teddy bear, a symbol of comfort and innocence, while the others are engaged in quiet activities, sharing a game. The dreamlike hues evoke the nostalgic warmth of simpler times, where imagination transformed everyday spaces into magical hideaways. The inspiration stems from a childhood memory of bonding with siblings, creating small sanctuaries for shared laughter, storytelling, and moments of togetherness.
