True Happiness # 1 (2023)

‘True Happiness # 1’ by artist Chayanisa Sriwichainan uses intense and dynamic colors and patterns to express inner joy and a sense of security. Against a vibrant, swirling blue background, a woman sits peacefully, eyes closed, wearing a blissful smile. She tightly embraces a decorative blue cat. The red and teal checkered pattern covering her body seems to symbolize the complex and unsteady external world. Behind her head, a golden and orange crescent moon shape rises, emphasizing the tranquility and mystical solace she feels. This work vividly and powerfully illustrates the fundamental human need to find True Happiness and emotional stability through the deep, unconditional bond with a pet, even amidst the complex and dazzling patterns of the world.
