About this artwork

"Blue Velvet," the inaugural creation of 2022, stands as a captivating self-portrait by artist Joanna. The scene unfolds in a tranquil garden where the artist, accompanied by her feline companion Mia, captures serene moments from her daily life. Joanna's emphasis on self-awareness and the significance of relaxation is palpable, portrayed through her signature use of vibrant, transparent colours and luminous light.
The canvas is adorned with botanical… elements and intricate patterns, creating a visual tapestry that invites viewers to immerse themselves in the depicted cheerful moment. Joanna intends to encourage a profound sense of tranquillity, prompting the audience to momentarily set aside concerns and embrace a holistic relaxation of both body and mind.
In Joanna's words, the painting seeks to convey a stillness, a moment where subjects exist free of responsibilities despite the dynamic compositions and energetic colours.
