Peace

Indian ink and watercolor on paper

113 x 113 cm

Peace is a choice, not a state of mind. It means deciding against war and for everything else. Sometimes it can be a really hard decision, going against your emotions and will. However, it will always be a decision of enlightenment and courage. The artwork called PEACE represents a Ray of Light on a square of Blue Flowers of Joy. This special piece, created for this open call, is a gentle reminder that if you can see it, light is here, and so is the choice of peace. This choice is as simple, straightforward, and gorgeous as a ray of light. This piece of art measures 113 x 113 cm. It is made with watercolor and India ink on paper. I created the vibrant colors myself using pigments and binders that I find and choose along the way. The Flowers of Joy structure is a form that I created where nothing bad can happen. It is a necessity that I found for myself to recover from my past. I needed to trust in something good. Now, I want to share it with everyone. I believe that everyone and everything has an unbreakable diamond of joy within them, and that special joy wants and permits everyone else's joy. I hope that simple ideas will lead to great decisions and happiness, and I wish everyone the best. KAJIKA.
