About this artwork
I've always wondered what the world would be like if the news only focused on good and positive stories, ignoring the negative. Imagine for a moment—no reports of wars or crimes, just uplifting news. This oil painting collage is my bold statement on that idea.
To convey this universal message, I chose strong textures and collected headlines in over 15 languages. The central figure sweeps away layers of negative news clippings, symbolizing our power… to clear out pessimism and make room for positivity. It highlights the choice we have to focus on uplifting stories and sweep away the fear fed to us daily.
“Freedom” is for dreamers, optimists, and anyone who believes in the power of art and ideas to transform reality. Let this piece inspire you to free yourself from negativity and fill your life with hope, joy, and creativity.
* The painting comes unmounted very carefully packed in a heavy PVC tube with layers of bubble wrap to protect it and ensure it will reach you safely.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Michel Devanakis is a painter of questions, of what lies beyond what we see, remember, or believe.
His works move between the real and the symbolic, tracing that fragile line where emotion becomes image and silence turns into color.
After a career in graphic design, he turned entirely to painting, guided by a need for slowness and depth, for the kind of creation that takes time to breathe. Working mainly in oil and acrylic, he blends classical technique with contemporary vision, sometimes weaving in digital textures or collage to bridge tradition and modern myth.
Themes of memory, freedom, faith, and beauty run through his work, not as fixed ideas but as living questions. Each painting becomes a mirror of the human condition, of the unseen forces that guide us, and of the stories we inherit and reinvent.
Collectors are often drawn to his art for its balance of strength and stillness. Works that invite contemplation not as an escape but as a return to presence.
