Summertime Sadness is a evocative art piece that masterfully combines the expressive strokes of oil pastels with the intricate beauty of pastel-coloured collage.

In this artwork, a hooded female figure sits pensively on the concrete at an outdoor skatepark, surrounded by the vibrant colour of summertime. Despite the apparent joy and abundance in her surroundings, there is a palpable sense of melancholy and introspection in her posture and expression.

The title "Summertime Sadness" reflects the complex emotions of the human experience, where one can seemingly have everything they desire, yet still grapple with feelings of unhappiness and yearning for something more profound.

The piece is a poignant portrayal of the delicate balance between outward contentment and inner emotional struggles, inviting viewers to contemplate the complexity of human emotions and the nuances of personal fulfilment.
