Children possess something that we (adults) have all lost – the quality of innocence. Ronald Apriyan often refers to the realm of memories and dreams of a child and in his works, he aims to create a bridge to childhood, sentiments conveyed through his myriad of pastel and candy shades, that is reminiscent of children’s drawings and evoking the innocence of childhood—playfulness and their innate humour, returning us to a childlike state of mind.
