LOCKED BEHIND SMILES
Patricia Ariel
Created 2016.
When painting "Locked Behind Smiles" I was immersed in reflections about external appearances. About having to look pleasant and balanced when your inner world is in turmoil. This piece is part of my "Ephemera" series, which merges realistic figurative and expressionistic abstracts to convey ideas of longing, loneliness, escapism, and the search for spirituality.
