Gypsy Happiness

Gypsy Happiness (2014) - oil on canvas

Leaning on the one ideal she strives for, peace, the land is barren yet a guardian angel is ever present to console her hardships. The little girl on the background bears a halo for she is no mere mortal but an spiritual presence. The dove looks at her and acknowledges its master. The girl to her right is a representation of the melancholy of her past. With a downcast gaze she is overcome with a tangible feeling of relief. 
The painting came about as a response to the escalating feeling of social isolation. When I paint I feel liberated and relieved like the girl depicted above.
