Footsteps of Light in the Sand

Passos de Luz na Areia

Mixed media on canvas80 × 55 cmHeight × width · canvas

In this painting, I sought to capture the lightness of a girl’s footsteps on the beach, blending figurative and abstract elements through lines and geometric shapes. I wanted to convey the poetry of childhood in sunlight, using impasto to enhance texture and movement. I hope viewers feel this mix of tenderness, freedom, and memory.
