In L'Élan de l'Enfance , Ghislaine Ferreira captures the raw, instinctive movement of a child in full swing, a race that seems both real and metaphorical. The work's monochrome, black and white, intensifies the young boy's expression, his features focused and determined, as if he were chasing an invisible dream or adventure.
The dynamic brushstrokes reveal the tension in his muscles, the concentration of his gaze, and the vibrant energy of youth, without artifice. The stripped-down background highlights every gesture, every expression, transforming this fleeting moment into a timeless scene.
This 100 x 80 cm canvas evokes both the power and fragility of childhood, an age where every movement is imbued with freedom and unsuspected strength. Ferreira invites us to rediscover our own momentum, that moment when everything seems possible, and when the world opens up before us with an infinite horizon.
