Thank you for the childhood

“In the heartfelt drawing titled “Thank You for the Childhood” by Gimiro, the artist pays tribute to his beloved brother by capturing a poignant moment from their shared past. The drawing serves as a gift, a remembrance, and a celebration of their childhood memories.

At the center of the drawing stands their grandfather, depicted with care and love, holding a bunch of rhubarb. In the lower left corner of the drawing, a triangle formation catches the viewer’s attention. This triangle resembles a page being flipped, symbolizing the turning of a new chapter in life. It signifies the idea that although their grandfather has passed away, life continues and offers new beginnings and opportunities. It represents the artist’s hope for their brother to find solace and strength in embracing the future while cherishing the memories of their childhood.

The significance of the page being flipped lies in the concept of transformation, growth, and the passage of time. It serves as a reminder that life is a constant journey, filled with different chapters and experiences. The artist wants to convey to their brother that, even in the face of loss, there is a world of possibilities awaiting him—a chance to create new memories, learn, and grow.

Given that their grandfather was not only a grandfather but also a father figure to the artist’s brother, the drawing holds even deeper emotional resonance. It is a heartfelt expression of gratitude for the love, guidance, and nurturing their grandfather provided throughout their lives. It serves as a tribute to the significant role he played in shaping their childhood and the person their brother has become.”
