A boy with a candle

In this oil painting, I aimed to capture both innocence and depth in the gaze of a boy holding a candle. The warm, flickering light illuminating his youthful face against a dark background enhances a sense of intimacy and contemplation. This piece reflects on the transient nature of youth and the enduring spark of hope and resilience in life’s darker moments. Placed in a home, it promises to bring a quiet, reflective energy to any space.
