Happiness
the art of staying afloat.
The natural state of the human mind is one of calm and happiness.
In reality, our mind it is busy with "desires." We ignore sensory inputs such as vision, sounds, and taste when conditioning ourselves to achieve a goal. Visual inputs are most affected as we move forward. We do not take time to appreciate our surroundings, colors, and shapes.
As an artist, I want to present visual inputs that bring us back to that default happy and calm state.
Though passive, a well-executed painting evokes emotions through forms and colors.
