My collages collection! #2: "A missing childhood".

Have yourself a very good evening! I hope you had a nice and joyful day today!

Tonight I wanted to show you guys another piece of against-my-will-artwork.

To be honest, I felt slightly proud of this one because, you see, it has its story behind.

When I first started to know myself through art, asking myself about which art style I enjoyed the most, which colors made me feel at home, what was the message I wanted to communicate through my work, I realized that all those questions led me to a common answer.

Childhood.

Sometimes I'm grateful Art School forces me to show myself naked through my artworks. Because after all that I feel like I've been discovering parts of myself I didn't even know they existed. Despite how embarrassing it is to let strangers see the deepest part of yourself, including your personal struggles.

This piece you can see here, made me conscious about the reason of my childish personality.

I'm childish because I literally can't remember my childhood.

Currently I have only a few memories of me being a kid, but that feeling of being careless, happy and innocent it's not a part of those scarce memories.

That's why I believe I'm unconsciously trying to revive that important phase of human life at my late teenage years.

Joy. Games. Fun. Being carelessly happy with a pinch of foolishness.

That's how I describe my personality nowadays. People usually assume I'm way younger than I actually am. They say I have a cute kid-like vibe. And of course I don't complain about it.

I think I'm childish but not immature. And that was pretty much what I had in mind during the process of this collage.
