Children of the Sun is a radiant exploration of the divine beauty of childhood and the sacred, enduring connection to our inner child. This exhibition brings together a constellation of visionary artists whose works capture the unfiltered wonder, curiosity, and emotional depth that define the earliest stages of life—and continue to shape us into adulthood.

​​

Through painting, mixed media, and visual storytelling, each artist offers a deeply personal expression of innocence, imagination, and joy—illuminating powerful truths rooted in memory and culture. Together, these works form a collective portrait of childhood not as a fleeting chapter, but as an eternal wellspring of creativity and spiritual clarity.

​

Presented by Art Melanated, Children of the Sun is a testament to the transformative power of art to reconnect us with the most essential parts of ourselves.

​

We extend our deepest gratitude to the brilliant artists who brought this vision to life, and to our sponsors, patrons, and community of supporters. An extra special thank you to Sotheby’s for their partnership and unwavering support of our vision.
