For (we are all) Children

This series was brought to life by one painting in which the artist was asked to portray “a world in which everyone unapologetically offers the best of themselves to others”.

The first painting is of a boy hugging himself, thus experiencing self-acceptance and love. 38 such paintings followed and they found their purpose in the philanthropic exhibition

“For (we are all) Children” to support the NGO “Children First”
(https://www.protatopaidi.org/en/).


The exhibition had great success and the artist decided to launch a life-long campaign to support kids living in the line of poverty: For (we are all) Children, Forever.
There are two ways to help: 1. Buying the available artwork and 2. Via Commission: the artist uses your selected photo and the same painting technique. (Communicate via “contact page”).
Photos of “sold” – available paintings.

​

All portraits are painted with a mixed media technique (charcoal and watercolor).

The available artworks are protected with glass and natural frame (25.5 X 35.5 cm).

Communicate with the artist to commission a similar painting and you will also help the goals of "Children First".

I often wonder at which point a child's mind is cultivated in order to give them the ability to use violence. Shocked with the mixed responses of today's society.
