HAPPINESS (2019) Painting by Reny Gab

Each person perceives happiness in a different way. For this reason, I painted myself from the middle of the painting. This is how I perceive the happiness. I also used my tattoo on the right shoulder, ie a butterfly which expresses joy. When people are happy, they fly like butterflies. I am smiling on the painting and my head is turned up towards the Sun which is depicted by the sunflowers which always turn themselves towards the Sun. Each type of flower represents a specific meaning. Sunflowers, as I have already mentioned, turn themselves towards the Sun, which evokes a good mood to me. I see cleanness in the lilies. Roses mean the passion in heart. Four leaf clover is traditionally about luck. As the emotion is not tangible, I expressed it in an abstract manner by drawing a radiation like aura emitting from myself. They intertwine one another as this emotion causes an explosion of several feelings inside me which I expressed by specific colors. Yellow as the sunflower evokes an emotion of happiness. Blue color depicts the feeling of lightness, freedom and airiness. The white color is connected to the lily which evokes in me the feeling of calmness, peace and gratefulness. The red color indicates passion, a light flow of adrenaline and strength which evokes happiness in me. All of those is contained in the happiness emotion. For this reason, the colors and flowers are mixed together as one unit - one emotion.
