Inner Child confronts the difficult work of revisiting childhood wounds and the vulnerability required for healing. Working with gestural mark-making and bold color fields, Villarino maps the psychological terrain of early life, moments of wonder alongside experiences of pain, without resolution or sentimentality.

 

The vibrant palette and dynamic compositions reflect the ongoing process of transformation and self-discovery, acknowledging that

healing is not linear but cyclical. Each piece holds space for both the innocence and the hurt that shape who we become.
