Cheer up

"Kop Op" shows a Pierrot, the classic French clown who often appears sad, but actually hides a subtle smile under his sad exterior. This painting reminds children and young people that, even if they sometimes feel misunderstood or sad, there is always hope and positivity within them. The butterflies pointing to his ears and chin symbolize the importance of listening to your own feelings and going through difficult times with your head held high.

For parents, this artwork is a gentle reminder to be open to their children’s emotions, as there can be a deeper feeling behind every expression. The Pierrot invites us to look beyond the exterior and discover the inner smile, both in ourselves and in others.
