Inspiration:

 Every time I visit home, I see pieces of my childhood come alive again—Barbie dolls, colorful toys, and the little treasures I once adored, now scattered across my mom’s house for my nieces to play with. Seeing them brings back this rush of memories, almost like flipping through an old photo album in my mind.

When I think of those days, I remember the simple joys: afternoons spent at the mall, the thrill of horseback riding, and endless hours creating little worlds with my Barbies. Everything felt brighter, bigger, and filled with possibility. It was a time where colors seemed more vibrant, and happiness came so easily.

But nostalgia can be a funny thing. It’s comforting, like slipping into an old sweater, but there’s always this ache—a soft reminder that those moments are gone. That’s what this painting captures: the joy, the vibrancy, and the longing that makes nostalgia so beautifully complicated.
