In Joy
The painting "In Joy" offers a vibrant and evocative journey through the landscape of love, dreams, and pure happiness. Originally conceived as "Calling in my Beloved," the artwork evolved to capture a more expansive and universal experience of joy.
The composition is a rich tapestry of elements that blend the dreamy with the tangible. Water imagery suggests fluidity, emotion, and the subconscious. It serves as a playful environment, with figures and elements interacting with or emerging from the water, symbolizing the depth and flow of feelings.
Horses in the painting represent freedom, power, and grace. In the context of love and joy, they symbolize the wild, untamed aspects of passion or the strength of connection. Their presence adds a dynamic, spirited energy to the scene.
As the painting originated from a dream of the beloved, it retains an ethereal, dream-like quality through the surreal juxtapositions of elements.
While the focus shifted from specifically calling in the beloved, the essence of love and connection remains. The evolution of the title from "Calling in my Beloved" to "In Joy" reflects a beautiful expansion of the concept. In the process of creating this dream-inspired vision of love, a more universal experience of joy evolved. This shift emphasizes that the feelings of elation, playfulness, and vibrant aliveness associated with romantic love are, in fact, accessible states of being in themselves.
"In Joy" invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world where the boundaries between dream and reality, love and joy, self and other begin to blur. It celebrates the exuberance of life, the magic of connection, and the pure, unadulterated happiness that can be found when we open ourselves to the beauty and wonder around us. The painting serves as a reminder that joy is not just an emotion, but a way of being - a state we can call ourselves into, much like calling in a beloved.
