When Men Were Boys

Description

The work “When Men Were Boys” is a contemplative reflection on brotherhood, memory, and the powerful forces that shape male identity. The three young figures stand side-by-side, their identical tunics suggesting a shared lineage or cultural identity. The dark background, combined with the ethereal, glowing teal aura surrounding them, separates them from the world, emphasizing the sanctity of their formative bond.

This painting speaks to the moment when future responsibilities are still distant, yet the weight of expectation is already felt. The piece honors the simplicity of youth while hinting at the complex men they will become. “When Men Were Boys” serves as a tribute to the enduring connections established in childhood and the shared journey through innocence.
