Blue Japanese Dream

In "Blue Japanese Dream" I am studying the concept of Perfection that is often percepted as obligatory ingredient of Happiness. Tender blue flowers as quintessence of pure natural beauty in this composition could be labeled as imperfect due to many reasons: lack of symmetry, odd number of flowers, sharp petals, uneven background and many more. One's pursue of Happiness is often disrupted by negative yet controversial public opinion that can give false guidelines and ruin fragile hopes and aspirations. It is important to remember that it uncovers the vices of society, not those of the subject of criticism. Most standards and goals criteria would be different for various people, societies and cultures. At the same time universal codes of natural beauty remain understandable by every human. 

Portrait of vivid blue flowers is painted by natural oil colors linking my art to historic traditions of depicting beauty of the world. It is presented against synthetic acrylic background on paper as metaphor of artificial components and fragility of modern emotional environment. 

I am referring to traditional Japanese philosophy in search of creating inner comfort from very simple things, seeing nature as endless source of immaculate beauty. Through my art I invite the viewer to contemplate on and reach genuine Happiness.
