Childhood

“Childhood” is an abstract exploration of the fragile emotions that shape us in our earliest years.

At the center of the composition, a child holds a broken heart, a powerful symbol of lost innocence and the silent wounds carried from difficult beginnings.

The canvas blends soft blues and greys with vivid red strokes, evoking both tenderness and turmoil. The child’s form is only suggested — faceless, timeless, universal — allowing every viewer to project their own story of resilience and longing.

Through layers of texture and movement, Micaela Cometa transforms pain into visual poetry. “Childhood” is not only a reflection on suffering, but also on the quiet strength it takes to hold what remains of love.
