Flowers of Joy

Works

  • Unconditional Love

    Indian ink and watercolor on paper

    150 x 150 cm

    The two blues in this painting are blues that I associated with forms of unconditional love I felt for two people in my life. There is an acid cyan blue that is the color of my deepest sorrow; I would have given you my life if it could have saved you. There is a blue of my highest and most elevated Joy; when I am with you, life is as simple as walking on clouds. From the deepest blue of my abysses, to the softest blue of the heavens: You are loved from head to toe, from sadness to joy : You're seen. That's why this piece is called: Unconditional Love.

    In Reunion Island, I’ve seen Lava running into the Ocean; this is a high shock of temperatures. I’m thinking the same about my healing process.

    Joy Rebirth is the first square of Flowers of Joy that has been exposed. And as the title of this painting suggests, this could be the start of a joyful and contagious bonfire.

  • The Slap

    Indian ink and watercolor on paper

    113 x 113 cm

    I started this piece with the desire to slap someone I admire. Sometimes you want to give a Slap to someone, but not a violent one, not a unpleasant one. A really nice and powerful Slap ! Sometimes a Slap can be good, it can give you energy and make you feel alive. Sometimes you can even Slap someone without knowing you Slapped them. This Square of Flowers of Joy, describe a really nice and respectful but Strong Slap. The feeling that’s The Slap can give is : Where’s the floor and where am I ? Am I still on earth, and do I properly think the idea of earth ? However I took great care to ensure the Flowers were balanced and the Blue was distributed evenly : The slap must be kept within a totally solid and perfect structure ; if it’s not, there’s no respect, and therefore there’s no possibility of creating a Slap. It's something you can see in sports: respect, rules and a strong framework bring the energy of humans into a powerful moment : It Slaps. Delivering a slap in a respectful manner requires a lot of work and attention; sometimes, a slap can conceal years of hard work. Details of the piece : If you look closely at the red line of the slap's movement, you can see lots of little sparks, like those you see when you light a match. Receiving a slap can provide pleasant sensations and improve blood circulation. A Slap can be a direct access to a new Dimension.

  • 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.

  • The Hug

    Indian ink and watercolor on paper

    50 x 50 cm

    The hug represents a wonderful moment of healing and reveals all the wisdom that this special moment holds. This square of Flowers of Joy is a Blue Hug of Soft and Light Love that encircles someone else's pain. But in the midst of this pain and sadness, a light appears : “I have a sadness within me that is a thousand times deeper and wiser than all my joys combined : Its says I'm human, I'm real, I’m alive and I care.” Blue Hug gently adding : “Softness and happiness are on the road, I promise.”.
