Painting description

The painting reveals a girl seated on a brick roof. The intense red of the tiles contrasts with the child’s pale skin. The girl, holding a top hat in her hands, is set within a vertical composition, which lends the work dynamism and evokes a sense of balance between chaos and calm. The atmosphere is somewhat mysterious, yet cozy. It feels like a magical moment on the edge of day and night. The artist uses oil technique, combining texture with subtle transitions of color. The thickly applied brushstrokes seem to give the surface a rawness, and yet a certain warmth. Is the girl fleeing from something, or simply daydreaming on the roof? Perhaps it is a metaphor for a child’s imagination, a moment when we feel like masters of our own world. “I want to fly!” the child would shout. The painting stirs nostalgic memories of childhood, when everything seemed possible. There’s something of a fairy tale in it, but also the reality of life. For me, this painting is a reminder to notice the beauty in everyday moments from time to time. Seize a moment like that, pause, and consider what truly matters.
