The Mindfulness Paintings

These paintings are an ongoing experiment much like my blog "My Life in Shrambles." They're mindful in the sense that I practiced being in the moment, with intent, and without judgement while designing and painting. They also capture the expressions of the subject at that moment in time, sometimes pensive, others sorrowful.

In essence, these illustrative watercolor and gouache paintings explore the themes of mindfulness and introspection, delving into the depths of human emotion and identity, while presenting characters with exaggerated and unconventional facial features to highlight featurism and challenge our perception of Western beauty ideals.
