No Use Crying

Portrait of a child crying, executed in charcoal and acrylic on a plant-based panel: the face, rendered with strong chiaroscuro, conveys an intense emotion of pain and fragility. The inscription "NON VALE PIANGERE", in acrylic, introduces a provocation related to the excessive lamenting of life, suggesting the need to react, move forward, and confront any difficulty with strength and determination.

KIDZ is born from the phrases that remain. Those spoken by those we love, those that shape you without asking permission. I write them on the faces of children, because children do not pretend. They are pure truths, just like life.
