Chris Alvarez - Child's Play
Recreating the art of my young children has taken me to places I hadn’t expected. I thought I was simply reinterpreting my kids’ art, but I found myself reflecting on the past and learning about art in new ways.
When my son and daughter were little, they would spend their days in my studio making art alongside their dad. Revisiting their work brought those memories back with surprising force. Sometimes I found myself in tears as I “copied” their drawings and paintings in oil. I miss those fleeting years when my children were tiny, and this project has allowed me to reconnect those past moments with the present.
