About the Artwork
---
Everyone has a child version of themselves inside. For that child to be smiling from ear to ear is truly a joy that shines from within.
It is a reminder to all of us that sometimes we need to find that child within us, and give joy to them.
 
If you look closely, this artwork is almost the artist's self portrait. Ray Lidya finds the romantic side in this artwork through the wavy lines and also the flowers that remind her of her hometown.

About the Artist
---
Ray Lidya has submerged herself in the art realm ever since she could remember. She is a graphic design graduate. She joined an art incubation programme, mentored by Atreyu Moniaga, and there she finally found her distinctive style.
 
Her paper-cutting style, infused with tea, is truly a style that channels her romantic persona. Her inspiration comes from Japanese manga and illustrations, and also her hometown. She finds her passion in portraits and flowers. She loves to do portraits because she finds human to be romantic. And she is not stopping there, she also draws inspirations by teaching art to kids and adults alike.
