This piece is part of Lokhande’s series that delves into
the beloved cartoon characters of childhood. These
works capture the whimsical essence of youth, evoking
nostalgia and the warmth that accompanies a journey

is depicted gazing into a mirror, envisioning himself living
a life of luxury and abundance. The painting explores
themes of ambition, the pursuit of success, and the
desire for wealth, contrasting Donald’s everyday reality
with his fantasies of opulence.
