About “Embracing My Inner Child”
Embracing My Inner Child is a heartfelt piece within Kim Violenes’ Childhood Art series, where she revisits a cherished pencil drawing from her youth. Originally sketched when she was 15, this drawing represents a time when doodling was pure fun, filled with spontaneity and without the constraints of overthinking. Violenes recalls the freedom and randomness of her early creations, celebrating the chaos and vibrant colors that, to her, are delightfully “weird.” Here, she brings her younger self into the present, with her current character literally embracing her childhood character, symbolizing self-acceptance and reassurance.
“Embrace your inner child.”
Through Embracing My Inner Child, Violenes invites viewers to reconnect with their own childhood selves, celebrating the quirky, authentic moments that shape who we are today.
About the Childhood Art Series
The Childhood Art series is a unique blend of Violenes’ early drawings and her evolved painting style, resulting in pieces that reflect a conversation between her past and present selves. Each work in this series is a playful and personal journey, where she captures the innocence, humor, and unpredictability of her childhood art alongside her refined, mature technique. Violenes describes this creative fusion as a “dance between the younger me and who I am now,” and each piece embodies that joyful, introspective connection.
