Bright and warm colors dominate the painting – sunny yellows, cheerful blues, fresh greens, and energetic oranges, creating an optimistic palette. Abstract patches and strokes of acrylic overlap, creating a sense of movement and vitality. Their irregular shapes and free arrangement suggest the dynamics of urban life, yet devoid of chaos and tension. Collage elements, made of various paper fragments with different textures and shades, introduce an additional visual and tactile layer. Both smooth, uniform surfaces and more textured fragments are visible, diversifying the composition and adding materiality to it. Their irregular edges and free placement enhance the impression of spontaneity and joy. Abstract suggestions of urban development can be discerned in the painting – colorful planes may symbolize buildings, streets, or parks, and dynamic lines and arcs – the flow of energy and communication. However, the final interpretation remains open to the viewer, allowing for personal associations with the idea of a happy city. The title “Happy City” perfectly reflects the cheerful and optimistic character of the painting. Its bright color scheme and dynamic composition emanate positive energy, creating a vision of a place full of joy and harmony.
