This is one of the most carefree paintings in the Boy in Colour series, created with a deliberate looseness of approach. The artist resisted the instinct to add too much detail or explanation, allowing the work to remain open and spontaneous.
As the largest piece in the collection, it expands into a luminous world of flowing folds and cascading colours. At its heart, the Boy sits smiling, at ease and bathed in joy. The looseness of technique gives the work its vitality, transforming it into a celebration of lightness, freedom, and the sheer delight of being.
