The description provided by the artist: "The painting "Grown-Up Toys" represents a multifaceted and symbolic image in which contemporary children play with modern toys. The boy symbolizes childlike innocence, joy, and play, while the tank represents the harsh reality of war. The painting suggests that children, even in times of war, are capable of resisting cruelty and, even in their fantasies, holding onto hope for peace. They can still preserve a piece of childhood and joy in their lives."
The technique used: Canvas, stencil, MTN aerosol paint, liquid Black/White marker.
