Joys of living

All Olivia Boa’s abstract paintings are painted with a knife, in a continuing search of relief and dynamism. These straight structures intersect parallel and perpendicular ones, such as the frames of life, the magnetic grid of the earth, the terrestrial meridians, or even the longitudes and latitudes of the globe. The artist reproduces spatulas shots all over her pieces signing her singular work she likes to call "Frames of Life".
The painting "Joy of living" was the first in the ' psychological works " series. It is 50x70cm and is made on canvas. The artist has just unleashed her inner joy of painting.
The chosen colors, the intensity and given movement, let the viewer feel a deep sense of joy and good mood.
These frames of life are represented on a background with bright color patterns such as white and beige symbolizing some purity from which the joys rise.
The center of the pieces offers a blend of blues and greens. Blue is the color of the sky and water. It symbolizes the infinite, the divine, the spiritual. It is an invitation to dream and spiritual escape. By extension, it evokes peace, calm, voluptuousness. The green represents youth and recklessness, in regards to the green fruit that is not ripe. This mixt of blue and green symbolizes an internal state of recklessness of great purity, almost divine, one that could be attributed to a child, for example, laughing out loud.
