Hands of Childhood ("In hands" series), 2025

Kateryna Kostyk  

Artwork ''Hands of Childhood'' captures a warm, soul-soothing moment of childhood — when you simply can't pass by a sunlit field without picking a dandelion that has already turned into a puffball. You reach out your tiny hand, gently touch it, and feel the pure joy of blowing the delicate seeds into the wind, or running with it in your hand as it slowly disperses on its own. In that innocent act, you become part of nature's quiet cycle — helping new dandelions grow while experiencing one of the simplest and happiest feelings of being a child.

This drawing is filled with tenderness and nostalgia. It reminds us of those fleeting yet timeless moments when we felt connected to the world around us in the most genuine way.
It's a piece that would beautifully complement a children's room, or bring a sense of peace and warmth to any space — especially if it resonates with your own childhood memories.

Hands of Childhood belongs to the series “In Hands", which includes artworks of different sizes and formats, all united by one central idea — the hand. Each piece in the series tells its own unique story and conveys a different emotion. Though they are connected by this common element, every artwork remains deeply individual, reflecting distinct moods and meanings.

P.S. Please note that “Hands of Childhood” has a minor paper imperfection caused by an accidental touch. It is visible in the final photo; however, it becomes completely unnoticeable once the artwork is framed under glass.
