INSPIRATION

“Connections II” continues the dialogue from “Connections I,” but offers a different perspective—a state of being that reconnects us to the interdependent reality in which we all exist. The children in the painting, carefree as they play amidst their beautiful surroundings, visually embody the link between beauty and being child-like—a state so many of us outgrow and rarely return to.
 
While masculinity and femininity are widely encouraged and explored, a subtle yet essential state of being is often overlooked: the child-like spirit. The beauty found in this state is second to none.
 
The painting reminds us that we were once boys and girls—and that some of the most important lessons for remaining humane in a chaotic world can be learned from children.
