TEENAGE LOVE

Inspired by Allen Maldonado’s childhood connection to the animated series Doug, this piece centers on Patty Mayonnaise—the show’s confident, admired love interest and a symbol of youthful aspiration. Rendered through Maldonado’s contemporary lens, the work reflects themes of admiration, innocence, and the quiet power of early influence.

Executed in acrylic and sealed with a high-gloss resin finish, the piece balances softness with clarity, allowing nostalgia to feel intentional rather than sentimental. Presented in a blue frame, the work subtly echoes the emotional tone of the source material—calm, earnest, and quietly resonant.
