DAY 3 CORAZÓN WEEK 2025: TOYS/PARENTING/CHILDHOOD.

❤️💔CORAZONES EN RUINAS💔❤️

This is, without a doubt, one of my favourite pieces of the week and also the one that tore me apart the most. 💔

I’m incredibly emotional when it comes to depictions of childhood, and this one felt especially heavy. It’s inspired by “Niños comiendo uvas y melón” 🍇🍈 by the Spanish Baroque painter Esteban Murillo, he didn’t shy away from painting the crudeness and cruelty of everyday life in the Baroque period. He captured street children, poverty, hunger .. the real faces of the people left behind.

In this piece, I imagined the Donquixote brothers.. Doflamingo and Rosinante after their leave from Mary Geoise ..No richness, no warmth, just scraps and silence. A scene of survival, shared between two small boys who didn’t yet know how much further they would break.

It’s the kind of story One Piece tells so well: raw, tragic, and unafraid. Because sometimes, pain is the seed from which vastly different hearts grow. ❤️🖤

One of them twisted into cruelty, consumed by vengeance 💔🦩..

The other became gentle, selfless, and full of quiet love... 💗

That’s what aches most knowing they were once side by side, holding the same piece of fruit and somehow... ended up on opposite sides a pirate and a marine..

Many of you have asked why I like working with historical styles and the truth is simple: I’m a curator and art historian. It’s second nature to me. I love merging classical influences with modern characters weaving timelines together to tell new stories in old tongues. The Baroque is especially close to my heart. It embraces pain, contrast, emotion, chiaroscuro. It doesn’t clean the truth,it bathes it in candlelight.
