About the artwork
Within the dream-like landscape of "Young Farmer", children are the central focus, creating impressions of the joy and innocence of childhood are ever-present. The composition is reminiscent of bygone days, filled with toys, pets and adventure. Similar to the artist's recent paintings of summers by the sea, a playful inquisitiveness that provokes fond memories of youth is revealed.
