The natural state of the human mind is one of calm and happiness.
Our sensory system is burdened with inputs such as sounds, smells and light. We are good at ignoring that are repetitive to us and become selective in our inputs. When we see or hear anything that interests us, we engage and experience revelation.
As an artist, I want to present visual inputs that creates that newness which brings a smile.
Though passive, a well-executed painting evokes pacifying emotions through forms and colors.
