The Outer Child: amusing imaginative portraits of adults with childish features by Cristian Girotto

Cristian Girotto’s digital art project (previously featured), “The Outer Child”, takes a whimsical look at what adults might look like if they retained their childlike physical features. The result is a series of amusing portraits that challenge our perceptions of aging and adulthood. Girotto’s subjects maintain their adult expressions and postures, but their childlike bodies and features create a sense of dissonance that is both humorous and thought-provoking.

The project, titled “L’Enfant Extérieur” (French for “The Outer Child”), invites viewers to consider the ways in which we hold onto (or shed) aspects of our childhood selves as we age. Girotto’s playful portraits suggest that adulthood doesn’t necessarily have to mean a complete departure from our inner child. Perhaps, a little bit of childish wonder and playfulness is essential for maintaining a zest for life.

“The Outer Child” is a delightful and thought-provoking project that reminds us of the importance of embracing our inner child. Girotto’s work is a testament to the power of art to challenge our assumptions and spark conversations about identity, aging, and the human condition.
