Smile is a mixed media abstract that began as pure exploration of color and form, evolving into a surreal planetary landscape where a female figure appears almost made of air. Her eyes are hidden beneath a dark hat, her lips curved into a mysterious smile that recalls the timeless allure of the Mona Lisa. This vision was inspired during a walk, when the artist saw a face in a stone fence—rocks seemed to reveal their own secret expression, sparking the transformation of the painting.

Swirling fog and misty clouds drift across the composition, softening vibrant layers of pink, blue, purple, and black. Vertical strokes rise like trees through the haze, while textured passages evoke cosmic terrain. The figure, both apparition and landscape, invites reflection on perception, memory, and the beauty of what we almost overlook. Smile embodies metaphorical storytelling, where female figures become vessels of feeling and abstract worlds transform into timeless mystery.
