As a digital artist, I often use my work to tell visual stories inspired by my own memories. This painting, created using Procreate, is a reflection of my childhood in as-Salt, Jordan. It depicts a young boy, who like many children, dreams of becoming a professional footballer and escaping reality.

Through the use of subtle blur and motion effects, I aimed to capture a sense of nostalgia and longing in the piece. The final touch, a faint nostalgic glow added to the focal point, further emphasizes the dreamy and whimsical feeling.

This artwork serves as a reminder to appreciate the small moments in our lives that shape us and the feelings of escape, freedom, dreaming, and longing that have fascinated me since childhood. I hope it inspires you to reflect on your own childhood memories and the dreams that shaped you.
