"URBAN PLAYGROUND" captures the essence of childlike whimsy amid the towering structures of an urban landscape. This mixed media street art painting is a poignant portrait of a little boy, rendered in a striking monochrome palette, as he navigates the vastness of his concrete surroundings. The contrast between the grey tones and the stark urban background evokes a sense of loneliness and resilience.

The focal point of the artwork is the lone figure of the little boy, frozen in a moment of play. With meticulous brushstrokes, the artist brings out the innocence in his pose as he plays a game of hide-and-seek.

The urban environment, rendered with a combination of acrylic paint and graffiti elements, adds depth and texture to the work. The graffiti, a nod to vibrant street art culture, injects energy into the scene and juxtaposes the grit of the city with the purity of childhood.

"URBAN PLAYGROUND" is a reflection on the resilience and imagination of youth against the anonymity of the city. The choice to depict the boy alone invites viewers to reflect on the universal theme of loneliness amid urban chaos - a poignant story captured within the confines of a city's concrete embrace.

db Waterman is a contemporary Dutch artist. In her works she assembles original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink, and pencil. The variety of resources she is able to use has proved indispensable to her. The biggest challenge the collage medium posed was its unforgiving lack of transparency. Finding a way to replicate the effects of transparency afforded by paint, especially watercolors, was a large victory for the artist. The preparing labor shows through in her collages; layer upon layer of material remains visible in the finished pieces. 

db Waterman believes that the body of her work is characterized by her skill for reinvention. Having always loved the appearance of weathered walls plastered with peeling paint and old posters, she revived this aesthetic with hopefully a keen and professional eye. The creative objective of her work is to “make something beautiful out of dilapidation.” Her tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful way possible to create dreamlike and melancholy images.
