The Least and the Greatest

I created this piece for Artprize 2016, based on a photo I took in Uganda.

It is technically the first acrylic I ever painted, though I completed a few others before this one was shown.  It was the first time I saw myself as an artist.

I wanted to convey the innocence of children – their curiosity and love of bubbles and stickers – with the hope of demonstrating that a child is a child, no matter where he’s born.
