Childhood Wishes Original Canvas Painting
About this artwork
"At the age of 8, she dreamt of owning a stud farm and riding every day. At 18 she started a serious career path which kept her desk bound for 30 years. By 28 she had two kids with dreams of their own. At 48 she looked back on her childhood wishes and decided to live her wildest dreams." - Popi Iatrou
In 'Childhood Wishes,' the woman stands in quiet reverence, her eyes closed and hands in prayer, reflecting on a lifetime of dreams deferred and rediscovered. The bronze and gold hues of the painting evoke a sense of wisdom gained through time, while the brown horse, with its eyes open, stands as a symbol of strength and freedom—both the woman’s and the wild spirit she has reclaimed. The dandelion seed floating above represents the delicate yet powerful nature of dreams, as they drift through time and space, waiting for the right moment to take root. Popi Iatrou captures a moment of profound connection, where the past meets the present and wild aspirations are finally lived.
