ONLY PEACE (2025)

In this luminous canvas by Jiro Jiro, rendered in acrylic and coloured pencils, a chibi boy hovers against a soft, cloud-speckled sky, propelled by fiery rocket boots. His large, glistening eyes and slightly furrowed brow mix childlike innocence with quiet resolve, while a small heart emblem on his chest hints at inner vulnerability and courage. Warm reds and greens contrast the tender blue backdrop, and delicate pencil strokes overlay acrylic washes to create subtle texture. The composition balances playful nostalgia and gentle melancholy, offering a compact, cartoonish portrait that feels both familiar and emotionally nuanced.
