Present Memories

Present Memories

Acrylic and ink on canvas
60 × 70 cm

How do we remember the past? Present Memories explores the way childhood recollections are colored by the perspective of the child we once were — filled with vibrant wonder, fragmented impressions, and the quiet shadows that shaped us.

This playful yet haunting painting blends surrealism with symbolism: bright colors and playful patterns evoke innocence, while the faceless dolls and towering architecture hint at forgotten emotions and half-remembered stories. The bold black hair stretches across the sky like a night full of thoughts, while small bees buzz with the energy of memory.

Painted in acrylic and ink, this piece invites the viewer to revisit their own past — not as it was, but as it felt.
