Painting description

The image shows a little girl in a pink dress sitting on a wooden footbridge over the water. Beside her lurks a cat, slightly frightened, its eyes wide open. The colors are warm and soft, dominated by greens and yellows. Everything feels like a dream. The mood is somewhat mysterious, maybe even nostalgic. The girl looks at us with an unusual, almost lost expression. Honestly, it reminds me of moments from childhood, when everything around seemed huge and beautiful, but at the same time a little scary. The artist uses the impasto technique, visible in thickly applied patches of paint. It adds depth and texture to the painting. The water seems to move, though it is only an illusion created by the brushwork. Something in this painting screams "freedom," as if inviting you to step beyond the bounds of the everyday. For someone, this image might be a reflection on innocence and the wonder of the world through a child’s eyes. "Look, Mom, she has a cat!" a child would probably say. Such a simple sight, and yet so many emotions. From sadness to curiosity. Maybe the girl is waiting for a friend, or lost in her own thoughts. Her gaze is a riddle that cannot be solved just like that. It is the magic of a child’s imagination on canvas.
