Carolina Rodríguez Romero

Carolina's desire to depict this untouchable essence is a form of resistance against society's desire to control and tame the free spiritedness of childhood: "A child's essence is untouchable, it is alive, full of colour, and no one can alter that. Society might try to change this, to make us forget what it is to feel free, but it will never take away the child within us all, so full of life and color. Fantasía is a series of drawings based on the dreams, colour and light that children radiate through their vivid imagination and play. It uses images of children in fancy dress or playing to celebrate the joy that exists when a child can simply be a child; joyful, dreaming and having fun.”
