Creative Young Mind: A Collection of 100 Artists
Celebrating the Unfiltered Brilliance of Childhood Creativity

This curated book honors the raw, instinctive, and fearless creativity that defines youth, reminding us that true artistic expression begins not with technique, but with trust in one’s own vision.
This collection features a vibrant tapestry of perspectives, cultures, and imaginations. From finger-painted galaxies to pencil-sketched dreams, each page offers a glimpse into how young minds interpret the world around them — with honesty, curiosity, and wonder.
