In this artwork, I blend street art with nostalgia, capturing a fleeting moment of childhood curiosity set within an urban environment. A young child in a bright orange raincoat stands at the center of the composition, playfully interacting with three ducks. The simplicity of this innocent scene contrasts powerfully with the vibrant, graffiti-layered background that surrounds it.
Bold blues, pinks, and yellows dominate the backdrop, creating a sense of movement and energy that reflects the pulse of the city. Through layered graffiti lettering, drips, and abstract forms, I introduce depth and rhythm, allowing the background to feel alive without overpowering the subject. The vivid orange raincoat acts as a visual anchor, drawing the eye and symbolizing warmth, protection, and childhood wonder.
Using precise stenciling and controlled spray techniques, I aim to balance technical sharpness with expressive freedom. This juxtaposition between urban chaos and youthful innocence forms the core narrative of the piece. It reflects the idea that moments of purity and imagination can still exist.. and even thrive within the modern cityscape.
The result is a contemporary urban artwork that invites reflection on memory, playfulness, and the quiet beauty found in unexpected places.
