Big Dreams Original Art by Bollee Patino
Mixed Media
Framed: 107cm x 97cm
This whimsical mixed-media piece showcases Patino's masterful blend of street art aesthetics and social commentary. The artwork features a child photographer in monochromatic stencil work, wearing a striped shirt with one leg exploding in vibrant colors, while a bright yellow bird perches on their camera.
Patino's distinctive style is evident in his sophisticated combination of urban art elements and traditional imagery. His careful attention to the contrast between the stark black-and-white figure and explosive color creates a piece that perfectly embodies its title, suggesting the boundless imagination and aspirations of youth against a graffiti-inspired backdrop.
