The life journey has been often a topic in my artworks. This painting was created in 2006 after a trip to Berlin. It was one of the first very long subway trains, which consisted of only one long part.
I was observing the people, thinking how each one of them is there, in a train full of hundreds of different life stories but still closed alone in a personal bubble of selective perception.
It is so rare to see happy people in public transportation. Nowadays, 12 years later most of the people are just looking down stared at their cell phones, mostly in a hurry to the next moment, which shall be better than this one, so shy to look at strangers eyes, so willing to communicate with the world, to share experiences but through a technical device.
The girl from the painting was a friend from my art university, we had our entrance exams together in the painting class, both got accepted. She is from Tirol. I don't know if I ever met another person, who has so much glowing energy and love in her interaction with others. I painted her in stillness in this case but she is a true sunshine.
Yellow is the color which inspires communication and openness the most. The cool blue tones in combination with yellow always remind me of water and sunshine. Two elements from our planet we all need and love.
Wish you all a relaxing and beautiful weekend.
With love & light

Nice piece, blue and yellow is one of my favorite color combinations. They are also the colors of the flag of my island Curaçao, symbolising exactly the sun and the sea! Here's my version of it 🤓
Great work, and love that moment of distorted shapes, like time is bending @bella-volen-art.
Awesome painting, @bella-volen-art! When we were in Toronto last, there was a subway train that was super long... When you looked down the way on a turn, it felt like the movie Fight Club.
