With  essential contributions by young Nicholas, Eileen, Guadalupe, and Melody, the internationally known artist Ehsan proudly presents  “Colors of Love”. A singular effort completed in a cooperative spirit.
 
A spectrum of bright tones lead you to the inner circle, a pearlescent rendering of a timeless mother figure, her love for all held tightly. Just as each young artist contributed their energy and passion toward this project, so too does each powerful piece of the palette magnify those around it, presenting a positive message of unity. When the colors of love assemble as one, their strength proves unmatchable. Together we can overcome any adversity. Together we prove resilient, time after time.
 
The four children pictured in the video aided in the creation of the "Colors of Love" painting. They are enrolled in a program that prepares them to enter kindergarten and gives children an opportunity to build skills in all developmental areas. The free program serves low-income families who reside in Central and South-Central Los Angeles and provides family support services. These thriving children serve as excellent examples of the work performed by the charity Children’s Bureau. The organization is committed to building hope and provide a path forward as leaders in strengthening vulnerable children, their parents and the communities in which they live. Children’s Bureau is a private non-profit that has been saving lives with innovative child welfare programs since 1904, serving more than 49,400 children and parents annually in Los Angeles and Orange counties.
 
Centered around a maternal image, “Colors of Love” provides calming peace as bright tones radiate outward, off the canvas. The painting technique utilizes textures and dimensionthroughout the piece. While Ehsan focused his energies on completing this figure, each child had an active hand in painting a section, all working together.
 
Ehsan states: “I was impressed with Children's Bureau, which has had such staying power in the community. While touring the preschool and learning about these beautiful children, I knew what I had to paint. A collaborative artwork with the younger generation, who will be our future… It was pure joy to paint with them. I was touched. They are so innocent, full of life — full of color!”
 
Ehsan added, “Only one person can acquire the original painting and we hope it sells for a large sum. At the same time, we want many people to be inspired by our collaborative work and help support a bright future for children everywhere.”

The “Colors of Love” will be on auction beginning May 1st through May 15th at the President’s Invitational Silent Auction.
