DESCRIPTION:

The artist’s intention was to create an abstract that captures the exhilaration of the International Balloon Festival through a symphony of color, movement, and texture. The use of mixed media converges in a dynamic interplay, evoking the awe of a sky brimming with floating wonders.

The main background appears as a variation of turquoise, interwoven with deep and airy blues, creating a sense of vastness and endless sky. Flowing whites dance across the canvas, leaving delicate imprints that suggest the movement of wind, drifting clouds, and the fleeting trails of balloons as they ascend. This dynamic backdrop is punctuated by bursts of fiery oranges and reds, along with glistening golds, reminiscent of fireworks igniting the night and the sun’s golden embrace over the festival grounds. Contrasting black hints at the silhouettes of onlookers, their gazes lifted in silent admiration.

The painting reveals subtle imprints and markings that add to its depth and complexity. The textured surface invites exploration, with embedded details that emerge upon closer inspection—traces of movement, hidden patterns, and the artist’s intuitive hand at work. Every brushstroke and material choice channels the artist’s immersive experience: the boundless sense of wonder, the hum of the crowd, and the sheer magic of being enveloped by sky-bound splendor.

Sky of Joy invites the viewer to step into the moment of imagination, to feel the crisp air and dazzling spectacle, and to let their mind drift among the floating dreams.
